Details
Do you cherish receiving a card in the mail, but get paralyzed when looking for the perfect note to send? In this course, we will create together a custom set of greeting cards so you’re ready with the best cards around—the ones you printed!
We will supply the ink, paper, wood type, and printing presses to create a unique set of 8 letterpress cards with envelopes. As a class we will decide on the short phrases for each card, with each student choosing their type and then printing their own phrase. And Chef’s choice for what you take home: you can do a print exchange with your fellow students or choose the 8 cards of your own design!
Prerequisites:
No letterpress printing experience required—only a desire to learn together and work with your hands. We welcome your accessibility questions!
