Pyramid Atlantic

One of the great good fortunes of living in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland: just down the street from us is Pyramid Atlantic, a comprehensive book arts studio where Kari and I are starting a two-day letterpress and lino-cut course tomorrow:

This weekend workshop provides an exploration of text and image through use of the age old process of letterpress as a fine art medium for the 21st century. Come spend two days creating a collaborative pamphlet binding book for you to keep. Learn letterpress basics from the composing stick to the tympan sheet. Technical instruction in type setting by hand, locking up, ink modification, editioning, chine collè experimentation, and Vandercook press basics will be covered. This class will also delve into the area of relief printing processes through the creation of black and white linocuts.
