Description
Learn the basics of letterpress printing using handset type!
Workshop participants will learn how to compose, lock-up and print a small project on AADL’s vintage Kelsey letterpresses. Library staff and guest instructors from U-M's Wolverine Press will lead these workshops. Follow along with our scheduled activity or plan your own project—you’re the designer!
This week we'll also have a demonstration of how to create type using found objects by Arie Koelewyn of the Paper Airplane Press. Supplies will be provided and you'll have the opportunity to create your own printable wingdings.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS:
This program involves direct handling of lead-based type and is therefore not suitable for small children.
