About the Workshop:

Is there a project that you would love to print, but you are unsure about how to get started? This class will help you understand how to deal with the technical issues, how to choose the paper that will do what you want structurally, what the order of operations is, and how to utilize letterpress printing to best advantage. Although the technology is old, what you can do with it is just about limitless. Your ideas + my expertise = a fun project that you can be proud of having produced.

Required Materials:

Students will need to purchase the materials they ultimately need for their projects. CBA will provide proofing materials.
