Print a letterpress poster with your personal mantra. In this one-day workshop students will learn typesetting techniques, with a focus on lead type, to create a set of twenty 8x10 poster prints. This class will teach the primary skills of letterpress printing using type from Signal-Return’s extensive collection. Each participant will learn how to properly compose, lock-up, and print a form on our presses.

Bring quotes, jokes, words of wisdom, or your favorite text to class to see in print. Think short and sweet, keep text within 8 words or about 60 letters.
