This workshop will also prepare participants to accurately measure and identify mystery sorts (including spacing) and to contribute to collaborative documentation of our type collection through the ongoing creation of a type specimen book.

Open to ages 18+. This workshop is well-suited for individuals with letterpress experience and for those without!
