Have you ever fantasized about having a small letterpress in your home? This two day workshop will cover the basics of letterpress printing with antique lead and wood type on a tabletop galley proof press. Students will learn how to hand-set type along with their hand-carved linocut block image. Participants will operate the tabletop press, as well as troubleshoot and clean the press and type. Each participant will come away with a small, one-color edition of prints.
