Description: Hal Leader has kept his Paradise Press open as a working museum for years with countless tours for design classes and interested parties. Now Hal rolls up his sleeves and shares his knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft of letterpress printing. Participants should each come with some idea of what they wish to set and will be shown the basics and then helped to set it and print it on a flatbed proofing press. Paper will be provided, but if you wish to print on a special paper, bring it along. There will be a brief introduction to hand set typography and then we will get down to business. Each person will also get a copy of the other participants work produced during this intimate, focused session. Register.
