Letterpress Workshop: Daredevil Typesetting

Create text that curves, angles and bounces in this typesetting and letterpress workshop that moves beyond straight lines. We’ll explore traditional methods of employing circular and angle quads, by adapting tools from hardware stores for manipulating type, as well as experiment with Daredevil Furniture, a set of laser cut furniture recently designed for type composition at Springtide Press. We’ll conclude with an exchange of daredevil prints. This workshop is appropriate for those with some letterpress printing experience who want to expand their approach to typesetting and image-making.
