About the Workshop:

Taught by instructor Rhonda Khalifeh, this in-person workshop for students who have taken Letterpress I (or have equivalent experience), covers more advanced letterpress techniques.

In a structured and supportive learning environment, students will further refine their printing skills. Topics of discussion will include the best order of operations for executing a letterpress project, troubleshooting issues with pressure and inking on letterpress, and the properties of different kinds of paper. In this workshop we will fine tune our printing and dive deeper into design considerations through the practice of multicolor printing, choosing a typeface that supports your text, and exercising quality control for multiple prints.

Class size is limited to ensure an optimal student-to-teacher ratio. Register now before the remaining spots fill up!
