Course: Experimental letterpress printing – card design | 70 € including materials
This course is open to anyone who enjoys designing and printing personalized cards – young or old, with or without previous experience. In the letterpress process, raised areas are colored and printed, while recessed areas are left blank. The course offers the opportunity to try out various experimental letterpress printing techniques – from material printing, roller printing, body printing to stamping techniques and other techniques that do not have a specific name. Things that surround us in everyday life offer a wide range of materials that are suitable for printing.
The motifs are printed in postcard or folding card format in small runs or as one-offs. We work with highly pigmented offset inks. These allow a variation from wafer-thin, transparent to opaque and high-contrast color applications from monochrome to colorful.
