Learn the art of Letterpressing at the Fourth Ward School in Virginia City
One day letterpress printing workshops are now being offered in the “Mark Twain Room” in the Historic Fourth Ward School Museum in Virginia City.
Learn the basics of the 550+ year old art and craft of Letterpress Printing from Steve Robison, an experienced letterpress printer.
Be able to walk away with a special hand printed piece to share with your friends and family, and then if you’re really hooked, schedule a time later to come back (at no cost!) to create and print other letterpress projects of your choosing with guidance from Steve!
We ask that you bring a favorite quote to set in type (we’ll supply the type!)
The workshop fee is $25 (includes materials) or $20 for Fourth Ward School Museum members.
Dates:
- Saturday, May 31st
- Saturday, July 26th
Due to limited tools and supplies, we strongly recommend reserving a seat in advance.
For adults 18 or older. Those younger than 18 years old may participate if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
