So you've learned basics of letterpress but still crave more? Albertine Press and Mayday Studio are teaming up for a four-day intensive in which we'll explore a wider range of letterpress experiences. Students will work together to plan and execute an edition of broadsides using handset lead and wood type, borders and ornaments, photo-polymer plates, linoleum carving and more. The workshops will take place on two consecutive weekends, July 26-7 and August 2-3, and costs $500, all materials included. Please indicate previous experience when registering.

We've designed a new two-day printing and bookbinding workshop for August 30 - 31. Taught in collaboration with Angela Liguori of Carta Inc, on day one we will typeset and letterpress a collection of original cards and on day two we will create an accordion pocket book to house the collection. Don't miss out on this fantastic experience! Cost $175, all materials included.
