Four people are gathered around a large, vintage mechanical letterpress in a printmaking studio. On the left, an older man with a white beard and a red bandana appears to be instructing a person with long dark hair who is examining papers on the press. To the right, a young woman in a black t-shirt and jeans sits on a swivel stool watching the process, while the back of a fourth person is partially visible in the right foreground. The studio background includes a poster reading "PRINT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!" and wooden cabinets with many small drawers

Weekly Drop-In Letterpress Printmaking

Join the RCAH Art Studio and the Spartan Printing Association on Thursday nights during drop-in hours. Come ready to develop a project (don’t worry: SPA e-board members, our community master printer, and RCAH staff are available to help you every step of the way). Many students begin by making a prop card to master the process of typesetting but then move on to bookmarks, postcards, and eventually broadsides.

Throughout the semester, we may have special themed nights or activities including stamping and screen-printing. We also plan to develop another group book project (last Spring we published Frondesecne, which collected a book page from any member who wished to contribute). Drop by regularly for updates on our goings on.

If you aren’t ready to dive in yet, just come in and see what others are working on. You don’t have to have a reason to join us; come see for yourself what printmaking is all about.
