Students will focus on typesetting and letterpress printing techniques that move beyond straight lines and right angles to set type that curves, angles and bounces. We’ll explore both traditional methods of employing circular and angle quads, adapting tools from art supply and hardware stores for manipulating type, and experimentation with Daredevil Furniture, a set of laser-cut furniture designed for type composition at Springtide Press. An exchange of daredevil prints will complete this workshop appropriate for printers ready to expand their approach to typographic composition and image-making.
