Workshops | January and February 2011
Basic Letterpress with Kevin Horvath
Kevin has come to INK Press with his type cabinet, ornaments and wood type to teach small groups about the sweet art of letterpress printing. Students will be given the chance to set their own type and to work with different papers and presses in making their prints. Everyone will get to exchange prints and it should be a very exciting and exploratory event.
