Intro to Letterpress
July 4th, 2025
Friday 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Celebrate freedom of the press and join us to experience the basics of letterpress printing! Participants will be guided through the safe handling of type and operation of a Platen press or Vandercook proofing press and have prints to take home. If you have a word, phrase, haiku or affirmation to print, this is a great opportunity to honor it with this special process.
Once the chosen type is selected, participants will lock in and print their text on cardstock or text weight paper.
Tools & Materials: Any printmaking journey involves ink and the ink used will stain clothes so aprons or work clothes are recommended. Bring some ideas about what you’d like to create or feel it out. Ink and paper will be provided.
All Classes are held at Editions, located at 6520 5th Ave S #104 Seattle, WA 98108. Go through the red door (or big white door if it’s open) and turn left- studio is at the end of the hall under the stairs
