Beginners welcome!
Learn to print your own holiday cards on the Poco Proofing Press in this introductory class.
We will roll up text and/or a series of “ornaments”( time depending), and make 1-color prints on cards. You will learn how to “compose” or set set type, “lock up” with press “furniture” and “slugs”, roll-up in ink and print.
We will be printing with oil-based letterpress ink and cleaning up without solvents. It takes a little longer but reducing toxicity and increasing sustainability in printmaking is important to me!
Classes are small, with lots of individual attention and are designed for all levels of ability.
What to Bring:
I would advise bringing an apron or smock for printing in.
Participation Cost:
The class fee also includes the following materials: printing ink, newsprint and 8 quality cards (80 lb/216 gsm) with envelopes.
*Note: Taxes include VT 6% & Town of Wilmington 1% sales tax rates
Registration: Please sign up by Thursday, December 17th, 4 pm
Class Date & Time:
Sunday, December 20th, 1-4:30 pm
