learning letterpress

If you'd like to learn the craft of letterpress, there are a growing number of classes available. I do want to suggest that you give yourself ample time to learn and then practice printing before getting started on your invitations.

You'll obviously need to begin by learning how to operate a press, but then it takes a certain amount of actual press time until you begin to get the results you'll like. If you don't have the right amount of time to invest, consider focusing on just one piece, such as place cards or thank you notes. This will take some pressure off you and hopefully make the process a little more fun.

Here are some places where you can learn how to print. Click here to add more links!
