    In this two day workshop, explore the basics of hand typesetting and letterpress printing using a Vandercook Proof Press. The workshop will include type composition, paper selection, mixing ink, press set-up, and printing. Participants will design and produce a small project of their own such as a business, greeting, or post card. A demonstration of how to print with photopolymer plates will be conducted, with a special focus on printing in other languages. We will also consider the ways that letterpress printing can add texture, words, and a new dimension to art and book arts projects. All experience levels welcome. What to bring: small book or journal for notekeeping; a favorite quote, haiku, or word. Taught by Colin Frazer and Frank Brannon. Two day workshop, Saturday and Sunday, June 27-28, 9:00AM-3:30PM. Call the CC Arts Festival office to register at 719-389-6098 or register online at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/SummerPrograms/EnrichYourLife/. Registration fee includes materials. Sponsored by the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.
