What's your message to the world? Learn how to print bold woodtype flyers and posters with letterpress! This two-day workshop will cover the basics of designing, laying out, locking up, and printing wood type using Vandercook proofing presses and table-top sign presses.

Open to all levels.

We will be making a collaborative print and individual flyers with quotes or messages of your choice using the beautiful wood type collection at Red Bird. Great for both first-timers as well as those wanting to brush up on their experience.


Gaby Hurtado-Ramos is an artist and educator making drawings, prints, zines, and multimedia work around the cracks and glimmers in queer social spaces.

They have completed residencies at Penland School of Craft (North Carolina), The Printing Museum (Houston, TX), Dirt Palace (Providence, RI), and The Wedding Cake House (Providence, RI). As a resident at The Printing Museum they published a zine documenting lesbian bar history in Houston.
