Join the McGill Book Arts Printing Lab in their inaugural letterpress workshop!
Curious about letterpress printing? In this hands-on workshop, participants will have a chance to explore the rich holdings of the William Colgate Printing Collection; “play” with moveable type; and print a keepsake on McGill’s 1821 iron Columbian hand-press using period techniques.
Given space constraints, limited to 20 participants. Please RSVP to reserve a spot, webform to come.
With special thanks to Ron Harvie (Ph.D. McGill Arts History, 1999) and Doug Bagguley
