Come play and experiment with low-relief printing on letterpress! Stratography, also known as pressure printing, is a hybrid blend of monotype and low-relief printmaking methods using letterpress printing equipment that results in softer edges than traditionally associated with printing. It’s a playful form of printmaking for traditional printmakers and letterpress printers looking for new mark making effects for their work. However, all artists are welcome! This technique lends itself equally well to both abstract and subjective image making.
All experience levels welcome. This class does not certify for Open Studio.
Ages 18+
All materials supplied.
Optional: Students are encouraged to bring low-relief objects such as lace, small feathers, or other similarly flat objects for experimental printing.

Learn to draw on and print from rock! Stone lithography is a printmaking method that has been in use since the late 18th century to produce dramatic, tonal print editions on the smooth surface of limestone. The printing process is intensive and yields rich and beautiful prints like no other printmaking method.
In this workshop, taught over 6 sessions, students will learn the step-by-step process to create their own edition of 10 prints pulled directly from their stone. Topics covered will include how to: prepare a stone, transfer a sketch and develop an image on the stone using lithographic crayons, as well as liquid tusche for creating washes, print an edition, and safe use of a lithographic press and materials.
This course is open to all adult artists interested in learning stone lithography, but some drawing experience is recommended.
All materials, except paper for the printed edition, will be supplied.
Ages: 18+
Registration: $275, includes all materials except paper for the printed edition. Members receive a 10% discount. Become a member today!Members must log in to activate the discount. If you are a member and don’t have a login, please contact us at info[at]printingmuseum.org.

Have a blast while building letterpress basics and learn why contemporary printmakers and book artists continue to work with these tools and techniques. Through a hands-on printing project, students will gain a foundational understanding of the principles of letterpress printing. Using a curated selection from the movable type collection, sign presses, and hand-operated Vandercook presses, students will come away with an edition of a small poster or similar side project and the satisfaction of pulling beautiful prints!
This class takes place over two sessions and is open to all levels and is a prerequisite for continuing skill progression in letterpress level 2 and 3 classes. Successful completion of Levels 1, 2, and 3 certifies a student to use letterpress equipment during Open Studio.
Adults 18+. All materials supplied.
