COME PRINT!
During our open house come make a free souvenir print that we've designed especially for the occasion. You'll be printing on a vintage 1940s Vandercook Proof Press and YOU will be the printer. You'll print a broadside (a poster, basically) set by hand from JCBA's collection of historic wood and metal types while we give you a brief introductory immersion into the fascinating and venerable craft of printing. The print is yours to keep and printing it will teach you the difference between clicking PRINT and actually PRINTING. - Websitehttps://calendar.fau.edu/event/letterpress-appreciation-day
