The Society of Scribes is offering a two-hour “tasting” lecture on the art of photopolymer letterpress geared toward calligraphers who would like to expand their repertoire. Letterpress is currently in vogue for wedding and social stationery, but this isn’t the entire story. Holiday cards, books, and gifts are just a few possible applications with letterpress for calligraphers. A brief review of foil stamping will also be included in this lecture.
So warm up with some hot cocoa this January, spend a few hours with us and learn if this printing technique is for you. The Center for Book Arts lecturer, Roni Gross, will take you through the process with an actual calligraphy project using one of the Center’s presses. Papers, inks, techniques, and an idea of costs will be covered as well as suggestions for beginner classes.
