Just got an email from Dan@the Arm NYC
Beginning Letterpress on the Vandercook Proof Press – Sunday Jan. 27th
In this workshop you will learn the basic principles of printing on the Vandercook cylinder proof press. You will learn the parts of the press, how it operates, how to lock up a form from wood and metal type or photopolymer plates and how to make a print. Oh, and to clean up the press after you’re done!
The work produced in this class will be a collaborative effort, but this one day class should prepare you to return to use the studio as a self-sufficient printer needing only occasional (and free) guidance from the studio hand. This one day workshop will be held on Sunday January 27th from 11AM-5PM. This workshop will be limited to six people each so please make your booking as early as possible to ensure your place.
If you want to sign up, holler at Dan.
He adds:
The public studio at The Arm is now open by appointment days, evenings and on the weekends. Press rental for any of our Vandercooks or C&P Pilot presses is $15 per hour and one-on-one teaching on any of the presses is available for $35 per hour. We are located at 281 North 7th St. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn just a couple of blocks from the Bedford L train stop. Let us know if you’d like to come by to see the studio or talk about printing.
The Arm is also hosting an opening tomorrow night for Judge and G Kelly with music by Son Wyatt in support of American Handscape.
