Let letterpress be that something special this holiday season! Learn the basics concepts of letterpress printing using wood and metal type and photopolymer plates. The majority of class time will be spent printing a collection of holiday cards. Students can expect to complete a small edition of cards with greetings such as “Season’s Greetings”, “Happy Holidays” and “Happy New Year”. We may even print “Thank You” cards, ending the year in a spirit of gratitude!
