* Pre-requisite: Letterpress 1

The goal of this class is to integrate text, image, and the book structure into one project while increasing participants’ familiarity and experience with letterpress printing. Building on technical printing knowledge, students will explore the concept of the whole book: how choices made about content and form affect the process as well as the finished object. This class will include demos as well as discussions about project planning, design principles, materiality of letterpress prints, and time-based reading inherent to book structures. Each student will design and produce a book using text, image, and structure of their choosing.

Please bring the following items to the first class:

  • Pencil & notebook for taking notes
  • Project ideas/text/images
