The Word Made Flesh (well actually paper)!
In this workshop we will make two portfolios of letterpress printed broadsides. We will play with color and type styles to interpret the meaning of the words. One portfolio will contain a series of broadsides with text gathered from the poets and writers in residence, the other will feature our own words. Students will learn letterpress basics as we print the text, and learn bookbinding skills as we make the portfolio bindings.
