introduction to letterpress in 1 day

DCA's introduction to letterpress course runs for 1 day and provides 
designers with an insight to this creative printing technique. Designers will
utilise wood and lead poster type from the Design College's type collection,
as well as having the opportunity to experience how type was cast on a
Ludlow typograph and a 1915 Linotype typecaster. Participants will work
on a project over the day and final designs will be printed on a range of
presses from single colour proof presses through to a hand fed platen press.
Working intently with individual pieces of type, heightens sensitivity
to the interactions between the letter forms and your design. Duration: 1 day Class size: 8 students max Times: 10:00am – 4:00pm Commences: Sunday 17 June 2012 where: Design College Australia Price: $185 inc GST
