Learn the basic skills of the fine craft of letterpress printing. Steeped in lore, letterpress printing is a fantastic skill for poets, writers, graphic designers, lovers of typography, book artists, artists, and printmakers. Drawing on Evergreen's huge collection of mid-century metal type, you will learn to design, hand-set, and print your own projects on Evergreen's Vandercook printing presses. After developing proficiency with basic techniques, you'll be able to complete your own small broadside or folio project. Combine this class with other "Book Arts" courses to indulge your love of words and books!
