About this Event
Printed Broadsides: Image & Word
A quiet beginnings workshop
Wednesday, March 4th | 5–8pm
Limited to 8 participants
Join us for an intentional evening of carving and printing.
In this three-hour workshop, participants will create a single broadside built around one carved linocut image and one carefully chosen word. This focused structure invites clarity and quiet attention — a creative pause at the edge of early spring.
Each participant will:
• Carve one image into a print block
• Select and set one word from the studio’s wood type collection
• Learn basic relief printing and editioning techniques
• Print an edition of 8–10 broadsides on high-quality printmaking paper
• Number and sign their prints
This workshop includes special access to the studio’s wood type collection — a rare opportunity to print by hand using traditional letterpress type.
We’ll discuss the history of broadsides, composition balance between image and text, and simple strategies for creating a final piece.
Participants will leave with:
• 8–10 finished prints
• A short broadside history
• The knowledge to continue exploring image and word in future work
All materials are included.
Limited to 8 participants to allow thoughtful instruction and printing time.
$85 per participant
