Don't miss this rare opportunity to use the Columbian Iron Hand Press. Print a letterpress poster with your personal mantra or verse. In this 2-hour workshop students will learn basic typesetting techniques to create an edition of three 8x10 poster prints. Using type from Tim's collection (The Colour Jar), each participant will learn how to properly compose, lock-up, and print a form on the impressive Columbian press. Bring quotes, jokes, words of wisdom, or your favourite text to class to see in print. Make it short and sweet: keep text within 8 words or about 60 letters.
