Have you been admiring letterpress printed books, posters and cards? Been wanting to learn how to set type and print your own ideas? Come work with Montserrat’s wood and metal type collection, as well as a range of presses from the 1890’s to the 1950’s. This intensive course is great for beginners or those looking for a refresher. We’ll spend the week going over the basics of letterpress printing, planning out a project and printing an edition.
