A Rare Opportunity to Print with History
Wood type has a rich legacy in the world of printmaking, offering a warmth and character digital printing simply can't replicate.

Whether you're a typography aficionado or a curious beginner, this course is your chance to connect with the past in a profoundly creative way.
Your Creative Journey: From Learning to Mastering
Over four exhilarating weeks, you'll embark on a creative journey that starts with the basics of type composition and leads to mastering inking methods and press operation. Imagine the thrill of setting your own type by hand, mixing inks to achieve the perfect hue, and then pulling the lever on our historic 1860 Albion Press to see your vision imprinted on paper. It's not just printing; it's making history.
No Experience? No Problem!
This course isn't just for the print-savvy; it's for anyone with a love for art, history, or simply looking for a new creative outlet.
