Friday October 9, 10AM - 4PM
In this hands-on workshop, students will explore printing patterns and found images with multi-color inks on a proof press. These prints will then be taken to the Chandler & Price platen press, where you’ll use a polymer plate to print the ornament form and, finally, die cut the pop-out ornament.
During the process, you’ll learn how to plan and register multiple runs, as well as the basics of setting up, printing, and die cutting on a platen press.
No experience necessary.
