Join teaching artist and printing poet Mackie Garrett for a workshop that will launch you into the wide world of letterpress printed pamphlets, greeting cards, chapbooks, zines, or other wee book-like objects of your own invention. We will start with a quick refresher on letterpress, the proper care and feeding of ICPC’s classic presses and book binding gear. We will also consider options in small book and zine design. Participants aim to design and print a small book edition with images and text. We can employ handset type, lino block printing, pressure printing, collagraph printing, and / or combine letterpress with other printing techniques that you already use, to create handmade duplicates perfect for mail art, greeting cards, micropress publishing, or just sharing images and text with your community.

Open to ages 18+.

Prerequisite: Intro to Letterpress at ICPC or other prior letterpress experence

Registration deadline: June 20
