This two day workshop provides an opportunity for participants to  experiment with wood type on press, making source material that they will share on the second day. Participants will learn how to lock up their wood forms and print with multiple colors and formats. On the second day, they will draw from the pool of prints, abstracting the originals through a series of exercises and collage techniques to generate new relationships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eParticipants will enjoy exploring the large collection of wood type at CBA and printing with it as both abstract pattern and readable language. They will experience the qualities of letterpress ink, in terms of overlapping colors and increasing transparency.
