Intro to Letterpress Printing with Jesse Marsolais In-Person
Location: Jonathan Edwards College Press
Instructor: Jesse Marsolais, Head Printer, Jonathan Edwards College
Letterpress printing was a new technology that spread rapidly in 15th century Europe and became the dominant way to produce books for centuries. Though superseded by newer methods in the last half century, it has been revived as a craft and still has much to teach us about how books are made, the importance of learning by doing, and why so many people still practice it as a vehicle for creative expression. This hands-on workshop will introduce all the essential elements of letterpress printing.
Audience: Graduate and undergraduate students interested in learning about printing and book arts through hands-on practice
Registration: Required.
Workshop Incentive Program: Any student who attends at least 3 library workshops this semester will be eligible to receive a FREE Yale Library tote bag. Learn more.
