Anyplace to actually learn in Philadelphia
I am really interested in letterpress and type design, but there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to learn hands on.
Does anybody know of a place/have a place to learn in the philadelphia area and will take sweat equity in exchange?
Excelsior press is in New Jersey, not far from Philly. They give lessons. Dik G.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Hi, i have a shop in port richmond, PA and would love to talk about— how you could have some hands-on experience. I have the huge task of unpacking, sorting, cleaning, organinizing and learning over 50 yrs of collected letterpress equipment/ materials. Contact me at [email protected] !
Thanks, Aimee
red-wilson I might be able to give you a hand sometime how do I get in touch.
We do a number of workshops in Newark, Delaware, about 45 minutes from Philadelphia. Take a look at our website at http://leadgraffiti.com
We have a couple of upcoming basic in Metal Type Composition, floor model platen presses, and Vandercooks. We also have press rental after you’ve completed the appropriate workshop.
Thanks everyone. Aimee, I sent you an email
