One day letterpress printing workshops are now being offered in the "Mark Twain Room" in
the Historic Fourth Ward School Museum in Virginia City.
Learn the basics of the 550+ year old art and craft of Letterpress Printing from Steve Robison, an experienced letterpress printer.
Be able to walk away with a special hand printed piece to share with your friends and family, and then if you're really hooked, schedule a time later to come back (for free!) to create and print other letterpress projects of your choosing with guidance from Steve!
We ask that you bring a favorite quote to set in type (we'll supply the type!).
The workshop fee is $25 for nonmembers, $20 for Fourth Ward School Museum members, for one of the Saturday Workshops listed below. Two workshop times are available: 10:30 am to 1:00 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
