About

Join us for a non-technical exploration of letterpress. If you’ve ever been curious about whether this kind of printmaking is for you, here’s an easy way to find out. BARN has the equipment; all you’ll need to bring is your creativity. This introduction will expose you to the simplest form of relief printing: ink, paper, and the workings of a basic press. By the end of the session—through collaboration and individual expression— you’ll have an assortment of colorful prints to take home.

Details

  • Registration closes Sept 20.
  • Bring a lunch. BARN has a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.
  • A$5 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers all materials you'll need (except for the poem or prose you need to bring).

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
