This class will engage students with a hands-on approach to learning proper printshop practices in the museum’s letterpress studio. Students will be taught proper care for type, tools, and presses, as well as their proper use. Moreover, the class will pull prints from various presses in the studio, while other presses will be demonstrated by the instructor. The course will emphasize proper clean-up, shop safety, and management of equipment. Successful completion of this course is mandatory for anyone wishing to print in the museum’s letterpress studio. Students completely new to printing are required to complete our Fundamentals classes in addition to this class before using our studio.
