Description:
This workshop is a great introduction to the Vandercook press. A high speed, versatile mainstay of small press publishers everywhere, the Vandercook is a cylinder proof press originally designed to produce trial impressions of type and image blocks. Participants will explore the many possibilities of block printing while experimenting with linocut, hand set type, and a selection of the instructor's own dingbats and pre-exposed photopolymer plates.
