Join the growing legions of letterpress aficionados by learning the fundamentals of printing on SNAP’s Vandercook and Challenge cylinder proofing presses.

Artist Dawn Woolsey will guide you through the basics of traditional typesetting, ink mixing, lino cutting and pulling your own edition of one-colour prints. Participants should bring a short written quotation to work with as well as an image, graphic, or pattern that they wish to carve.
*No experience necessary, all materials and tools will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own prints and papers to add to your work.
