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 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.
