Printing will be wood type only – as it is actually better suited to this process than metal – on CBA's R.Hoe \u0026amp; Co Washington Press (made in the Bronx in the late 1800's) with hand rollers. Your letterpress t-shirts (or other cotton items) will age gracefully since they won't crack like silkscreens.\r\n\r\nClass size is limited to ensure an optimal student-to-teacher ratio.
