Fox Fridays: Let’s Print a Zine! Collaboration Through Letterpress
Let’s print a letterpress zine together! In this free workshop, each student will use a combination of unconventional objects and pressure print templates to design a unique page (or pages) on the letterpress. At the end of the workshop, there will be a saddle-stitch binding demo of the zines.
Takeaways
Print, bind and take home a saddle-stitched zine to inspire future projects.
Cross-Disciplinary Connections
This workshop is an approachable opportunity for students of any background to engage with the letterpress. It offers students already involved with book studio and printmaking processes a chance to learn new processes and have fun on the press.
