In this two session workshop, students will work hands-on with metal and wood type to create off-grid compositions—playing with spacing, rotation, fragmentation, overlap, and improvisation. We’ll explore how imbalance, disruption, and intuition can shape meaning, rhythm, and visual impact in printed work.
This class emphasizes process over perfection. Expect to test ideas, make quick prints, respond to chance, and let the material qualities of type and press guide the work.
Suitable for curious beginners and experienced printers alike, this workshop offers a supportive space to experiment, loosen habits, and discover new possibilities in letterpress printing beyond the grid.
All materials provided. No prior letterpress experience required, though comfort with basic printing concepts is helpful.
