Two-Color Letterpress Printing
with Cameron Anderson & Caren Calamita
1-day workshop
Saturday, March 28th from 10:00am-5:00pm
The original Roycrofters often printed in two colors, black and red, which is more complex and time consuming than simply printing in one. In this class students will explore the challenges and techniques of printing with two colors. Using type and tools from our collection, students will set type and build the forms necessary to print in different colors. This class is a continuation of the skills learned in our Intro to Letterpress Printing class, which is a prerequisite for this workshop. Equivalent experience will be considered.
Supplies include all materials needed to make multiple copies of their typeset quote. The tools provided during the class project: type, chase, furniture, etc. will remain property of The Roycroft Campus. Students are asked to bring a quote of no more than two lines to the class or choose from a variety of Hubbard quotes. Please come dressed appropriately to work with permanent inks and mineral spirits (some shop aprons will be available). Please feel free to bring a bagged lunch or something to snack on.
Cameron and Caren began their letterpress journey here at the Roycroft Campus and found themselves so excited by letterpress printing that they have started their own print shop. Along with a genuine excitement for letterpress printing, they bring with them decades of experience with web development and education. They can’t wait to share their excitement about letterpress with others.
