Letterpress Fundamentals: Print Your Own Greeting Cards:
Letterpress printing is a great way to add a personal touch to items such as stationary, thank you notes, and cards. You will learn the basics of setting lead and wood type by hand, and you will master the mechanics of printing on the Morgan’s incredible, flexible Vandercook presses. At the end of the weekend, you will walk away with a small edition of handset, hand printed letterpress cards, and knowledge of the Morgan’s letterpress studio.
