AIGA Summer Workshop: Letterpress Printing
This workshop will introduce participants to studio letterpress printing using wood type and lead type, on tabletop platen and proofing presses. You will also learn the art of Solarplate printmaking, a quick, non-toxic relief process which can be used to create images for letterpress printmaking. All paper, ink, and other materials will be provided. Participants will create a printed graphic ephemera. There will be a break for lunch from 12:30 to 1:30, so please plan accordingly. Please wear an apron and/or old clothes (ink and grease abounds) and comfortable shoes (you will be standing all day). All proceeds are tax deductible and will go to the Birmingham AIGA.
