introduction to letterpress in 2 nights
DCA's introduction to letterpress course runs for two nights 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 two nights 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: 2 nights (Wednesday 27 June & Wednesday 4 July) Class size: 8 students max Times: 6:00pm – 9:00pm Commences: Wednesday 27 June 2012 where: Design College Australia Price: $185 inc GST
