About the Course

Print a letterpress poster with your personal mantra. In this one-day workshop students will learn typesetting techniques, with a focus on wood type, to create a set of twenty 12x19 posters.


This class will teach the primary skills of letterpress printing using type from Signal-Return’s extensive collection. Each participant will learn how to properly compose, lock-up, and print a form on our printing presses.


Bring quotes, jokes, words of wisdom, or your favorite text to class to see in print. Think short and sweet. Try to keep text within 8 words or less and/or 60 letters.


Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by S-R staff and takeaway prints. Paper in this workshop is from French Paper Company, a small Michigan Paper Mill around for more than 140 years.
