About the Workshop:
This in-person workshop is taught by CBA instructor Elizabeth Castaldo.
The Vandercook presses are useful tools for a variety of projects and can be fun to use for many image based processes that can stand alone or be used in combination with hand set type. This workshop will cover a variety of hand made image making techniques such as pressure printing, collagraphs, and linocut.
Through these techniques, you will explore color, transparency, shape, and layering of imagery to create a series of prints. This class will focus on a playful and spontaneous approach to letterpress, but the resulting prints can be used as the beginnings of an artist’s book, a printed edition, or a series of unique prints, and next steps for these types of projects will be touched on as well. Anyone with an experimental spirit will love this class. Letterpress experience will be helpful but is not required.
Fun Fact: Image making on the letterpress is so special because while it is a tactile craft that’s made slowly, it can be reproduced infinitely and shared widely, while still maintaining that human-made feeling.
Required Materials:
- Pencil and eraser
- X-acto knife with blades or snap off utility knife
- Relief carving tools (optional)
- Textured materials for making collagraphs – such as lace, dried or artificial leaves, yarn or string
- Any special papers you may want to print on
All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
