Event Overview
Old school printing with new school tools.
The art of printmaking in this digital age is challenging: from the maintenance of the equipment, to the mechanics, to finding ways to make unique prints with new media. In her printmaking, Leah incorporates elements of drawing, painting, photography, and collage to create a format for every one of her projects. Learn the quick basics of modern-day letterpress; designing and printing your own broadsides and greeting cards using our library of photo-polymer plates. Just in time for Father's Day - You will experience the rush of pulling prints off a flat-bed Vandercook Press in this demo-style workshop and will take a handmade card home for the fatherly figure in your life.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
Leah runs Coffee n Cream Press from her home studio in the Outer Sunset of San Francisco, living and working in her grandparent’s old home. Production for the stationery cards and wedding invitations happens here, on her very own Vandercook Letterpress SP-15, and inspiration comes from the rich history the house and the city of San Francisco hold.
