Under the auspices of the newborn organization Partners in Print (PiP), the letterpress spinoff of sorts from the School of Visual Concepts, I’ll be teaching a two-hour distance-learning workshop on integrating 2D laser cutting with letterpress printing. I’ve taught two versions of this before, one in person and one online, and both have gone smashingly, with a lot of bidirectional learning and excitement.

The course will be offered June 21 at 10 am PDT. (The time was picked so we could sweep in North America, Europe, and Australia.) I’ll lecture and demonstrate principles of design, production, and assembly, and answer questions along the way as stay late to answer questions at the end. The cost is $75; there’s a scholarship price of $50. PiP puts its scholarship price this way: “PiP is committed to limiting financial barriers when possible. We leave it to you to decide if your income, wealth, or privilege status warrants a scholarship.”

Below, some pictures from the in-person workshop in 2017 and from my home workshop.

I’m also quite excited about PiP, which is under the sponsorship of Shunpike, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps foster and provide administration for smaller and startup organizations. PiP has a lot of great goals at making letterpress accessible and meaningful as a communication tool to the largest number of people, and providing fantastic community along the way.
