Letterpress Holiday Cards
Instructor: Richard Kegler
Date/Time:Wednesday November 11th through Saturday November 14th 2009
Cost: Cost: 2 days $60 ($48 members) + $10 fee
Description: Get a head start on the holidays! Design and print your own holiday cards using both type and imagery. We will design the cards on the first evening and students can then sign up for a time slot in which to come in and print the cards on one of our letterpress presses. Personalized Christmas cards are great, but they mean so much more when designed, hand set & hand printed by the sender. Now you can use the extensive WNYBAC collection of vintage printing ornaments & type to compose your own cards. Basics of letterpress will be covered briefly and each participant will be assisted through the completion of all aspects of making and printing their cards with 1 or 2 colors. Workshop includes basic materials but special papers and envelopes can be brought in or ordered through our shop.
