Your teacher
Lorna Turner and Janet Kupcick
Meet Janet and Lorna—two passionate artists and educators who bring years of experience, creativity, and heart to the world of letterpress and design. Janet fell for letterpress nearly 20 years ago and has been teaching at Otis and ArtCenter ever since, constantly exploring new ways to keep the craft vibrant through pressure printing and type-based imagery. Lorna, a globe-trotting designer with degrees from the Royal College of Art and Ohio Wesleyan, teaches everything from typography to book arts at ArtCenter, CSULA, and Santa Monica College. Their combined love for print, teaching, and creative exploration makes learning with them both inspiring and fun.
Your host
Thanks to the generosity of the Windgate Foundation, the Ludwick Family Foundation, and the Miki Young Charitable Trust, the International Printing Museum opened its Book Arts Institute, a 4600-square-foot teaching lab, in 2020! Using our collections of antique printing machinery, vintage type, and book arts equipment, our aim is to fully develop the Book Arts Institute as the premier public teaching space for book arts in Southern California.Would you like to try a hands-on workshop? We offer a wide variety of half-day and full-day courses for adults and teens in letterpress printing, bookbinding, screen printing, paper marbling, paper making, and more!
