About the event
Join SPPC letterpress instructors Thom and Pixie for this fun date-night (or not!) printing class. We’ll have a multi-layer print pre-selected and ready to go (a type specimen of Cooper Black). Printers—that’s you!—will select the colors to print in, learn some inking processes on our Vandercook proofing presses, and make their own custom versions of the poster. No experience necessary, this class will be an easy and fun look at the way letterforms can become art, and you’ll get to take home a beautiful piece of collaborative art for your home!
