Ever wonder what you can do with wood type besides letterpress?

In this workshop we'll show you the wonder of working with letters alone or in groups to create abstract collages with type! With the incredible array of type available for use at Hamilton, there's no limit to the ways you can use these letters and numbers! There will also be lots of other collage papers for use with these letterforms. You'll be amazed at what you create!
