In the Letterpress/Book Arts 2-day workshop, you’ll learn how to create hand-made books incorporating your own letterpress-printed text and imagery. On the first day, you’ll learn how to set metal and wood type and print on a Vandercook flatbed cylinder press. You’ll learn how to plan a layout and compose a form with the intent to use your press sheets to bind your books on the second day. On the second day, you will learn two book bindings. For the first you will use a single, printed sheet to bind an oxplow book. The second book will be a single-signature book sewn into a hardcover. No bookbinding or letterpress experience is required. Students will be introduced to all processes, tools, materials, and equipment.
