Are you interested in learning to use an early modern-style hand press or hoping to advance your skills? The MIT Beaver Press is pleased to offer multiple workshops this IAP.

  • Beginner Workshops. These single-session workshops are designed for individuals who have never used a letterpress. Bring a 150-character text (spaces included) to set and print. Experienced shop assistants will guide you through the process. The workshop lasts approximately three hours.
     
  • Advanced Workshops. These workshops, limited to six people, are designed for individuals who have completed a Beginner Workshop, or have successfully completed 21H.343 / CC.120. Workshop participants will work in a team to produce a four-page pamphlet. The project will extend over two weeks.

 
Spaces are limited: to sign up, please contact Dr. Erica Zimmer at ezimmer[at]mit[dot]edu.
