In Freshmen Letterpress: Not A Hallmark Card, you'll work with instructors Taylor Reid and Erin Fong of Western Editions letterpress company to create a set of 10 assorted greeting cards (wayyy better than anything from Hallmark). The set will include 4 Birthday Cards, 4 Thank You Cards and 2 "Oops" cards, for those moments when you accidentally ate your roommates leftover pizza or forgot your brothers birthday!!
You will use an antique Vandercook Proofing Press and print from vintage wood type. You will learn a bit about the history of letterpress printing and the basic set up of the press. You'll then hand-crank your own set of cards-one by one-and customize each by lining the envelopes from assorted paper (patterns, colors, old books, dictionaries, and encyclopedias). Do yourself a favor and buy some stamps before hand- you'll be so happy with your printed goods you'll want to send these out ASAP!
supplies needed: none
VERY IMPORTANT: THIS CLASS TAKES PLACE AT WESTERN EDITIONS STUDIO LOCATED AT 505 BRODERICK STREET. THIS CLASS DOES NOT TAKE PLACE AT WORKSHOPSF! THERE WILL BE A SIGN AT 505 BRODERICK STREET FOR WESTERN EDITIONS STUDIO.
ALL CLASSES ARE FOR AGES 18 AND UP.
