I’m teaching two more workshops before the end of the year!

Intro to Letterpress
Saturday, October 10, 2009, 10am-4pm
A small group workshop for beginners or those needing a refresher. The workshop will cover how to set metal type, how to use a Vandercook press, how to troubleshoot to get good prints, how to clean up and maintain the presses, and some information about how to use digital technology in combination with letterpress. Each participant will print a few lines of text of their own choosing.
Tuition: $120

Letterpressed Holiday Cards
Saturday, November 14, 2009, 10am-4pm
Make your own holiday cards and come away with letterpress skills too!  In this small group workshop, you will design a holiday card using metal type and print up to 30 cards on a Vandercook press. (Bring whatever cards you’d like!) Suitable for beginners.
Tuition: $120

All workshops: Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in downtown Silver Spring, MD.
