SUMMARY:Letterpress Orientation
DESCRIPTION:This 3-hour workshop is an orientation session for all students 
 who are new to letterpress printing and want to learn the basics of setting 
 type and printing using our Vandercook cylinder presses. The workshop will 
 begin with a tour of the Book Arts Studio\, followed by an overview of the 
 history of letterpress printing\, an introduction to letterpress tools and 
 materials\, and guided instruction through typesetting and printing a 
 collaborative poster or one-sheet booklet. \n\nBring a brief piece of 
 writing – quote\, proverb\, poem\, etc. (3 lines maximum) – to set and 
 print during the workshop. We’ll be getting inky and working on our feet 
 for the entire workshop\, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty\, 
 along with comfortable\, closed-toed shoes. \n\n\n\nWe will ensure that 
 students understand proper techniques for presswork\, including setting 
 metal type\, utilizing the Vandercook cylinder presses\, clean-up\, and 
 letterpress project planning. Upon completion of the orientation\, students 
 will be able to work on independent letterpress projects during our 
 supervised Open Studio hours. No prior experience is required\, and all 
 tools and materials will be provided. This workshop is restricted to 
 currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students.
