Learn the basics of letterpress printing with wood type at Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. You will become familiarized with type composition, locking up, and printing on sign presses. The workshop runs from 9 am until 5 pm. The day starts off with a 45 minute tour of the museum and instruction on how to use a sign press. The majority of the workshop consists of printing with wood type from a large collection available in the pressroom at the museum. Clean-up begins at 4pm and the day finishes up at 5 pm. Lunch is not provided, but there are many options nearby.
