For the first time classes are being offered in the recently established LAC Letterpress Studio at the main Library Arts Center location. In a two-hour class, students will learn the basics of setting type, locking it into the press, and printing on an 1870s manually-operated tabletop platen press. Students will go home with note cards printed with a quote or sentiment of their choosing, including a picture from an antique printing plate, if desired. Click HERE for more details.
