"The alphabet is so hot right now!" Derek
Here's our new introduction to letterpress workshops for the Spring! We worked really hard designing this series and have tried our hardest to make it as affordable as possible. Please email us at info@weare1976.com if you have any questions. Also, all these workshops will be held at our Bishop Arts location. And, unfortunately, due to the nature of letterpress, these workshops are for adults only (18 years old and up; we're working on more workshops that are kid-friendly!) Also, because of the amount of preparation needed, cost involved, and the level of interest, all workshops are non-refundable and dates cannot be switched. Also, all students will be required to sign a waiver form prior to any printmaking workshop.
