Learning the Letterpress
Two weeks ago, I took a one-day letterpress class with a few designer friends at the San Francisco Center for the Book. I had learned about this place for a while, and had wanted to take the letterpress or bookbinding class but never found the right time.
At Letterpress I, we pretty much learned the basics of a letterpress shop and how to set type and print it. We had two exercises: the first one was to have the entire class of ten create a type specimen with whatever typeface we want, and the second was to make our own page of type that would assemble into a book.
