One-day beginner workshop!

Get introduced to the history of poster making and letterpress printing.

Make your own poster (political, protest, inspirational, poetic – anything goes!) using carved blocks or beautiful wood type from Flycatcher Press’ own collection. In this one day workshop, you will learn how to design posters with type, how to set type and how to hand-print an edition of 10 copies of your very own poster on the studio’s sign press and cylinder press.
