Try your hand at printing oversize type at Hamilton!

$125 Total

Instructor:
Stephanie Carpenter

No experience necessary. The minimum age requirement for workshop participants for this event is 18+.

Take this opportunity to print with blocks that are not often available in workshops. Each participant will print on large format presses and showcards using type over two feet high from Hamilton’s archives. Hamilton has the world’s largest collection of wood type and many of them are big wood type.

The workshop runs from 9 am to 4 pm. The day starts off with instruction on printing and using a sign press. The majority of the workshop consists of printing with wood type from a large collection available in the pressroom at the museum.

Everyone breaks for lunch at the same time. Options include purchasing a lunch for $15, bringing your own lunch (a refrigerator is available), or choosing a local restaurant. Clean-up begins at 3 pm and the day finishes up at 4 pm. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes that may get ink on them. Because of the nature of the pressroom and the pieces being used, participants in the workshop must be 18 years or older.

The cost is $125 with all materials provided by the museum. Space is limited, so reservations and a $65 non-refundable deposit are required. Please complete the registration form below to reserve your place. The $60 balance is due at the beginning of the workshop. Cash, credit cards and checks are acceptable.
