We will get familiar with typesetting, mixing ink, proper lockup with furniture and quoins, printing techniques, and the cleaning process. Students will be able to create editions of prints and receive guidance for a project of their choice, which could include broadsides, chapbooks, posters, and cards.
Materials: All materials are provided with the materials fee paid to the instructor. Additionally, students can bring their own paper to print on or use what is in the studio.
