Introduction to Letterpress

Explore the wonderful world of letterpress and typography in this fun class. 

Learn the basics of setting moveable wooden and metal type, and using Adana, Quarto and Albion presses to print your own verses. We’ll take you through all the different stages, from hand-setting type and locking into a frame for printing to how to identify problems and find suitable remedies. 

If you ever wanted to know how they used to print books in centuries past, then this class is for you.

Excellent class, my first introduction to letterpress. Enjoyable, creative + relaxed atmosphere.
