Photo of Letterpress Essentials at BARN: The Broadside

Join Eli Backer for a thorough introduction to letterpress printing. Learn how to create a letterpress broadside - a sheet of paper printed on one side used historically in Europe. If you can't make the first session at the end of May, we are also offering it at the end of June.

This course covers all material necessary for letterpress certification on typesetting and uses the Challenge Press. With a little practice in open studio after this course, you should be ready to take the certification test and demonstrate your capabilities to safely and effectively run a press unsupervised!
