Level up your letterpress skills in this next workshop in the Learn Letterpress series! Build on the confidence and experience gained in Printing FUNdamentals (Learn Letterpress 1) to advance your letterpress typesetting and printing prowess. Students will be introduced to the platen press which requires gravity defying lock-ups. Through a hands-on printing experience, students will design, typeset, and print greeting cards or similar size project to further advance their letterpress skills.

In the hybrid format, students will meet for one-hour over zoom the evening before to prepare for a full day of printing. This class is open to students who have successfully completed Learn Letterpress 1 or those who have studied letterpress with Jessica (or another instructor) previously and are looking for a typesetting refresher. Successful completion of Levels 1, 2, and 3 certifies a student to use letterpress equipment during Open Studio. Ages 18+
