This training is a one-hour intensive session focused on proper studio practices in order to use Common Press independently as an advanced user. It is not a creative class; it is designed to ensure safe and proper use of the studio and equipment. It may also be taken as a refresher for those who have previously completed workshops and need a technique review. Please see Print Your Own Postcard if you would like to try letterpress printing yourself, or are interested in a more creative workshop.

During this training, participants will review:

  • Proper typesetting, leading, and spacing
  • Ink mixing
  • Press setup and operation
  • Type distribution and cleanup

Participants will receive a studio manual to keep and use for reference.
