Modular Letterpress Workshop

In this workshop, you’ll spend the day designing and printing your own modular geometric designs under the watchful and artistic eye of Chris Chandler, the founder of Portland’s Neu Haus Press. Whether you’re an old hand at letterpress printing or this is your inaugural trip, you’ll discover the surprising versatility and seemingly unlimited possibilities of printing with a modular system. Here are some of the things we’ll be covering and doing during the day:

• Experimenting with Legos, plexiglass shapes, and wood Alpha-Blox
• Working with P22 Blox, a plastic modular typeface created by Rich Kegler
• Operating SVC’s Vandercook cylinder presses
• Creating effects with multiple layers and colors
• Printing multiple designs which, of course, you’ll take home with you
• Investigating resources for creating your own modular printing system
