    In this two-day workshop we will explore the fundamentals of typography and letterpress printing. The first day will cover the basics of composition and setting metal type by hand. The second day will be spent printing a collaborative, multiple color type specimen broadside. The Press at Colorado College, founded by Jim Trissel in 1978, is a fine press dedicated to the art of making limited edition books and broadsides. Under Trissel’s guidance, The Press became one of the finest letterpress studios in the country, producing stunningly beautiful books on a variety of subjects, from "Color for the Letterpress," to "Twelve Mammal Skulls," and "Silence." Part of the Enrich Your Life! courses for the community.
