About the Workshop:
This in-person workshop is taught by CBA Founder Richard Minsky.
CBA’s Washington Hand Press is from the 1870s and can accommodate type, photoengravings, linoleum and woodblocks, and photopolymer plates. Completion of this workshop, allows participants to be able to use this press for their own projects, such as unique prints or editions, in the future.
Over the course of the workshop, participants will work together to produce a broadside on the hand press using a printing method that has remained unchanged for 500 years. Every participant gets a copy of the broadside to take home. This class is open to all experience levels - from those curious about the book arts, to library students who want to experience part of printing history, and to anyone else willing to learn!
Fun Fact: The Washington Press was invented by Samuel Rust, a New York printer, in 1820s. It was by far the most popular iron hand press in America.
Materials:
All materials will be provided by CBA at no additional charge to the students.
