About this Workshop:
Create simple, bold greeting cards with wood type. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of working with wood type on a Vandercook press—from locking up type, registering paper, inking the rollers and pulling prints. Each student will choose one message to print, and we’ll all work together to print designs that we can trade at the end.
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary
Registration closes December 9, 2023 and includes all materials.

- A few one-word ideas for your greetings!
