This course is designed for anyone interested in learning the fundamental skills and knowledge essential to printing on a Vandercook cylinder press using hand-set type. You will use an instructor-curated selection of vintage metal and antique wood type from The Printing Museum’s extensive library as well as cuts (images) to develop your skills. At the end of this course you will have learned the foundation needed to design, set, and print a complete edition of a one-color greeting card or small poster. Depending on the pacing of the class and at discretion of instructor, two-color work may be attempted.

Successful completion of this class will allow you to reserve cylinder presses during Open Studio times.

Materials to bring: please bring a pair of reusable gloves, all other materials supplied.
