July 18-22: Letterpress Intensive with Abigail Bainbridge

There?s nothing, for a writer or designer, like the feeling you get when you realize letters can be tangible things; that you can hold your words in your hands; that even the space between words is a physical object. Spend a week with WSW?s collection of lead and wood type and learn traditional hand typesetting and letterpress printing. Bring your words or someone else?s plus a dose of curiosity and discover the magic of letterpress! We?ll start with a communal broadsheet just to learn the process, then students will make their own broadsheets or simple pamphlet bindings.

Women?s Studio Workshop envisions a society where women?s visual art is integral to the cultural mainstream and permanently recorded in history.

WSW maintains facilities for etching, letterpress, papermaking, book arts, silkscreen, 3D work, ceramics, and photography. Our studios are housed in an historic building, located in the foothills of the Hudson Valley?s Shawangunk Mountains.
