In this two-day workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of points, picas, type size, leading, and sorts—the essential elements for crafting a beautifully printed letterpress book. Time permitting, students can also compose and print a calling card or postcard on a platen press.

Students will spend about half of their time setting their pages, and half the time printing what they've composed. At the end of the workshop, students will receive their own copy of the group's jointly-produced book, which will includes everyone's name and contribution.
