About the Workshop:

Explore image making on the letterpress through cut paper pressure printing! Perfect for artists, designers, and enthusiastic creators, this course will take participants from idea to final print in the pressure printing process.

Participants will come away from the class with a small edition of their own unique pressure printed prints.
