Laser Cutting for Letterpress Printing Workshop

Come create at the Arts Fabrication Lab and Print Studio in Cornish College in Seattle!



6 hours Class size 8 to 12 guests     $192
Are you curious about how to integrate laser cutting into letterpress printing? Well, this class is for you!
In this workshop, you will cut your own designs using a laser cutter and print multiple copies of your image.
Combine it with wood type or other decorative elements from the Cornish letterpress type collection for a fun simple postcard, flyer, or series of experiments.
No letterpress experience necessary; knowledge of vector-based software (i.e. Adobe Illustrator) is a plus, but not required. Instructor Dan D Shafer is a graphic designer and educator and has integrated laser cutting into many personal and professional projects over the last 10 years, who will guide you throughout the process.
By the end of the workshop, you would have hands-on experience with both the digital and manual processes involved in integrating laser cutting with letterpress printing.
You also will leave with a set of custom laser-cut printing plates and printed examples, as well as the knowledge to continue exploring this hybrid technique independently.
