Fine stationery & paper goods
Public Print is now offering a weekend long intensive workshop to learn everything you need to know about letterpress, foil stamping, and more! This workshop will give you the confidence and understanding you need to start this beautiful craft on your own!
Below is an outline of everything we cover over the two-day intensive and a form to fill out if you're interested!
Over the course of a weekend we will cover a variety of topics ranging from artwork, press operation, materials, what equipment is needed, and how to get started in letterpress. You will get hands-on experience running the equipment and producing your own artwork so that you can fully understand and experience how everything works.
From setup to final trimming a project we will guide you through the entire process and be there to answer any and all questions. Our goal through this intensive is to create a solid foundation and jumping off point for anyone who takes this course. You should walk away with a good understanding of what’s needed to start printing on your own!
We will be working on 1 print project with artwork provided by you. Some ideas of what to print would be personal stationery, a couple wanting hands-on experience printing their own wedding invitations, business cards, etc. If it goes on paper we can do it. Feel free to get creative!
