Get Out The Vote Block-Printing Poster Workshop 10/24/24
Thursday, October 24th from 6-9pm eastern time.
Let's rally our communities to get out and vote in this November's election with a fun creative workshop making posters for your yard or window!
In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll use a curated selection of larger vintage metal & wood type and ornaments and an array of ink colors to print monoprints (one-off art prints) in 8x10" and 11 x14" poster sizes.
Instead of traditional typesetting with composing sticks, we'll use the playful quick-stamping technique that I use to "sketch" ideas on my vintage Vandercook Presses dating back to the 1960s.
Each participant will head home with a collection of one-off printed posters along with a newfound appreciation & knowledge of printing history.
No prior letterpress printing or design experience necessary whatsoever. This workshop is open to anyone, but I ask that any children under 14 are accompanied with a parent or guardian (separate ticket necessary if you both want to make your own prints).
This workshop is held in the Gingerly Press Studio located on the first floor in the Ice House Studios (wheelchair accessible) in the lively Central Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be provided during the workshop. BYOB optional.
Workshop participants will have access to 15% off all Gingerly Press products during their time in the studio.
The week of the workshop, I will send you an email reminder for the event & travel details. See my Workshop FAQs for additional details in the meantime.
Workshops require a minimum of 4 participants to run. In the event that a workshop does not meet this minimum, you will receive a full-refund 48-hours prior to the workshop date.
Workshop Cancellation Policy:
Gingerly Press reserves the right to cancel a workshop if fewer than 4 participants register, or in the event of dangerous weather conditions.
We require at least 3 days notice of cancellation to receive a full refund. Any cancellation less than 3 days prior to the workshop, will receive a workshop credit good for 60 days for any available workshop of equal value.
If you are more than 45 minutes late, you will be considered a “no show” and it will be too late to receive a refund, workshop credit or begin typesetting & printing at this point.
