Intro to Letterpress: Typesetting (April 6)

Intro to Letterpress: Typesetting (April 6)In this introduction to letterpress printing, students will print an edition of 15 custom stationery cards on Remarques C&P platen press. In this special small class, everyone will set and print their own type and learn to set up and run the press. Each student will be provided with pre cut paper and envelopes for their stationery cards . We will start with the press already set up and ready to print a solid block of color from a linoleum block.

Students will set and center one line of type (a name or short phrase)
