with Mackie Garrett
Sundays Sept 13 & 20 and Oct 4, 12:30-4pm
at the IC Press Co-op (225 N. Gilbert)
pay-what-you-can: $0-195

Join Mackie Garrett for an introduction to the art and craft of letterpress printing. We’ll learn the basics by working with the classic presses that live at the Iowa City Press Coop. Each participant will have the chance to learn about basic care and set up of the presses, typesetting and print matrix preparation, inking and printing techniques, and the ever popular clean up procedures. We will start with some collaborative work and then move into individual projects. Participants will be able to print independently on the Showcard press by the end of the workshop. Mackie is happy to guide you as you start or renew your adventures in letterpress.

Open to ages 18+.

Registration deadline: September 8th

PS1 workshops are pay-what-you-can thanks to support from Hills Bank, a Johnson County Quality of Life Grant, and individual donors. $155 is the true cost of the workshop for each participant. We encourage you to review the payment options and select the cost you can afford. If you have expendable income, please do not select the no-cost option and leave space for others. When you are able to pay on the higher end of the sliding scale, your payment helps others gain access who might have a more challenging financial situation. 

If you are unsure about which fee to select, please reach out to workshops@publicspaceone.com.
