Intro to Digital Letterpress

Intro to Digital Letterpress is one of our most sought after workshops! We have offered this class 3 times and it has been a ton of fun each time. This sample is from the class taught in the Fall of 2008 by the super talented Stacey Stern (of Steracle Press). Stacey is a wealth of knowledge and we feel so lucky to have her teach here at the shop.

For those of you wanting to learn how to make your very own polymer plates, and print designs from them then Intro to Digital Letterpress is the class to take. We offer it often so call us or check our website for the next scheduled class.

Coptic Book Workshop

This was the first workshop in our new space at 1127 Florence.  Jen taught the class on our amazing new tables.  If you've ever been to a workshop here before, you'll be amazed at how roomy our new space feels.  Jen is also offering a class on Artists' Books beginning March 31st, and an Altered Books workshop on April 11th.  We're in the process of adding Juliayn Coleman's Three Non-Adhesive Bindings class, too.  We hope on May 9th.  Watch our workshop offerings.  Once the taxes/accounting's done, more will come.

If you don't know what altered books are, you should checkout the blog at Shelter Bookworks.  She's got a great set of photos of Thomas Jefferson's altered Bible.  If I get permission, I'll share more of it here soon.
