About
Workshop participants will explore creating type and imagery using modular forms, such as lego building bricks, type-high wooden dowels, and P22 Blox. While these techniques can be used in combination with traditional letterpress type and image blocks, modular printing allows novice printers to create compositions without complex lock-up engineering and allows experienced letterpress printers to create experimental compositions.
