introduction to letterpress in 4 weeks

DCA's introduction to letterpress course runs for 4 weeks, 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 range of projects over the 4 week course, 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.
