Letterpress Exploration


  • Scale House Print Shop 516 Mill Road, Suite 2C-D Hartford, VT, 05001 United States (map)

Thursday, March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 2023 (5 sessions)

6pm-8pm

Offered in partnership with Scale House Print Shop

This class is designed for those who want to explore letterpress printing a little further, have several projects in mind, or want to design something with multiple colors and layers. We'll meet each Thursday evening in March, and students should plan to complete between 2 and 4 projects over the five weeks, depending on the complexity of their design. You'll have full access to Scale House Print Shop's collection of wood and metal type, ornaments, and hand-carved illustrations, and you're welcome to bring your own linocut illustrations to print, as well. Printing will be done on a 12 by 18 Chandler & Price press manufactured in 1913 and an 8 by 11 Golding Pearl from 1892. Those who complete this class will be eligible to rent supervised studio space at SHPS in the future.
