About this event

  • 5 hours

Using The Arm's collection of antique wood type fonts and image blocks, you and your child or teen will work together to produce a letterpress poster of your own design.


Dan will be on hand to assist with typesetting and presswork. We will print with black ink over your selections from our variety of pre-printed gradient poster backgrounds to get some color in the mix without making things overly technical.


Participants will leave with 12 prints of their own single design, plus a simple print of their name in big type. If you like, you can swap some prints with other participants. This will be a fun day in the print shop!


Drinks and light snacks will be provided.
