Letterpress Workshop (Professor Cordell, Northeastern University)

Letterpress Workshop
Tuesday, March 20 | 4:00-7:30pm | Holmes 472
Snacks & drinks provided by the English Department

Curious how books (& pamphlets & broadsides &c.)
were made in the hand press era? Learn first-hand in
a letterpress workshop with Professor Cordell!

In this workshop we will:
• Plan small letterpress projects
• Compose using moveable type
• Lock up type blocks & woodcuts
• Ink the blocks & pull the printer(s)

12 workshop spaces available
RSVP r.cordell@northeastern.edu

If you’re already familiar with letterpress, I can hold 4-5 additional spaces for you to print a new
project. We have a new (in 1890) platen printer ideal for postcards. I am hoping to build a
community of practice around letterpress in the English Department. RSVP for these spots too.
