Business Cards, Calling Cards, and Cards for all Occasions: Letterpress Printing from Photopolymer Plates - SOLD OUT

Date: Sunday February 28, 4 - 7 pm and Sunday March 14, 10 am - 4 pm
Location: First class location TBA (Cornish College of the Arts: 1000 Lenora St, Seattle ), [map]
Cost: $175

In the first session we will meet for three hours and use vector-based software (Adobe Illustrator or InDesign) to design business cards. You will have the opportunity to design up to 4 different two-color cards. Factors to consider when designing for photopolymer will be discussed. The files will be sent off to have plates made, and two weeks later, we will meet again to print our cards. This class is a great introduction to the marriage between digital technology and old-fashioned letterpress printing. Limited to 8 students. $25 materials cost included in class fee.

Registration is closed.
