Letterpress & Lino: A Broadside in a Day

An Introduction to Printing with Type and Linocuts on the Vandercook
Nineteenth‑century illustrated newspapers were masters of rapid, collective image‑making. Artists sketched directly across several wood blocks locked together; then the blocks were separated and handed to different engravers, each cutting their portion of a much larger image. When reassembled on press, the picture printed as one dramatic, unified portrait or scene.
In this one‑day workshop, we’ll channel that fast, collaborative spirit and work as a team in our shop. Team members will carve linoleum blocks and hand‑set type (image and text pre-selected) in rotating roles throughout the day. By late afternoon, we’ll bring everything together on a vintage Vandercook proof press to print an edition of bold, expressive broadsides.
All materials provided. Bring a bag lunch.
Instructors: Bonnie Bernstein and Jenny Mikulski
