About this Event
Learn how to make and use the hectograph (and its mechanical counterpart, the spirit duplicator) to create quick and easy editions of zines, chapbooks, posters, flyers and cards. Each workshop participant will leave with an edition of prints and the knowledge (and a starter kit!) to continue printing at home.
Long before ink jet or laser printers, the hectograph was used to make copies when a printing press was not available. Using only dye-based ink and a tray of rubbery gelatin, anyone could produce publications for their class, club, office or organization. The Hectograph was also used by artists like Edvard Munch as a low-cost alternative to lithography.
Taught by Rich Dana & Leisha Stanek of Obsolete Press.
