August 12 – August 24, 2012

We will combine a variety of image generation techniques on the letterpress to create richly layered book pages. We will begin with low-relief pressure printing to generate prints with atmospheric fields of color and texture. Responding to these first layers, we will add subsequent imagery and text with linoleum blocks, photopolymer plates, wood type, and metal type. Each student will come away with his or her own printed book in a variable edition. All levels.
