Book Arts Institute: Multi-Day Workshops

One day isn’t enough? Do not worry, we have multiple day classes for those who want to indulge into a deeper dive of a subject.

Continuous-tone photographic images are characterized by gradual transitions between shades and colors and have frustrated letterpress printers for decades. The need for the traditional halftone screen often produces coarse prints, difficult registration and color issues.In this technical hybrid workshop, which includes both online and in-person components, participants will explore the possibilities of letterpress printing as a means of producing successful four-color process images. Two live Zoom sessions (June 3 &amp; 10, 6pm-8pm) include discussion and demonstrations on how to achieve successful results, choosing and editing original images, color manipulation in PhotoShop, soft proofing and preparing files for photopolymer plates. Individual consultation meetings will also be available (June 17). Students will order their own photo polymer plates for original four-color images. Two weeks later, with plates in hand, we will meet in person for hands-on printing (June 28 &amp; 29, 9am to 4pm), plus demonstrations of technique and discussions of strategies for letterpress printing of multiple plates in tight registration.Skill level: Students should have letterpress experience. In addition, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign must be available on the participant's computer, and they must have a basic knowledge of each.
