Learn Letterpress 3: Multi-Color Registration

May 9, 5:30 – 9:00pm
May 10, 5:30 – 9:00pm

All times are US/Central time zone

Learn the tips and tricks to take the frustration out of aligning multiple colors in your letterpress prints. In this class students will split up amongst platen and cylinder presses and learn the similar techniques to getting that beautiful, perfect alignment…or how to intentionally mis-register your prints to create an effect. Mastering registration is one of the key skills for pulling a consistent edition. Learning this skill will help you save time on press and reduce frustration when working with multiple colors. We’ll also address ink selection and mixing.

This class takes place over two sessions and is open to students who have successfully completed Learn Letterpress 1 & 2 or by permission of the instructor for those with previous letterpress experience. This class will benefit those who’ve take Digital Letterpress and would like to advance their multiplate registration skills. Successful completion of Levels 1, 2, and 3 certifies a student to use letterpress equipment during Open Studio.

Adults 18+.
