Incorporating Letterpress Printing into Your Art

December 4, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Demonstration Description:

Learn all about the history and evolution of letterpress printing and how you can incorporate it into your printmaking or mixed media practice. Using a Kelsey table top press during the demonstration, Michelle Wiebe will guide you through basic terminology, press operation as well as show you basic lock up techniques for type and linocuts. There will also be plenty of time for questions throughout this interactive demonstration. Thinking outside of the traditional realm of typesetting and printing text, she will show you ways to take letterpress printed material and incorporate it into 2D and 3D work as well as ways to achieve fine art quality limited edition prints on a press. If you are working with acrylic paints, relief printmaking, collages already, this will be especially helpful for you to find ways to explore new elements in your art making.

We are planning to make a recording of the program available to everyone who has registered, so you will be able to watch the entire program at your convenience even if you can’t join us live. You’ll receive a link to the recording shortly afterwards.
