Description

Learn the basics of letterpress printing using handset type!

Workshop participants will learn how to compose, lock-up and print a small project on AADL’s historic Kelsey letterpresses. Library staff and guest instructors from U-M's Wolverine Press will lead these workshops. Follow along with our scheduled activity or plan your own project—you’re the designer!

This week we're joined by type designer Ryan Molloy who will talk about the process he used to create his own wood type.

Ryan Molloy is an inter-disciplinary designer, artist, and educator. Ryan has an MFA in Design and a B.Arch. degree, he has worked professionally as both an architect and a graphic designer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS:

This program involves direct handling of lead-based type and is therefore not suitable for small children.
