This class might be over, but get first dibs on new sessions and brand-new classes by signing up on our ultra-rad mailing list.

In this class, you will learn the basics of typography though an engaging printmaking exercise: you will carve some letters of your own!

You will discover firsthand the concepts which make even the lowliest letters fall into a lovely composition. You will master the basics of setting type in a welcoming, informative setting while learning about the basic history and anatomy of type. You will walk away with any cards or papers you print upon and the handouts you need to continue to do this at home.

No materials needed, but be prepared to get ink on your hands!
