About the Class

Learn how easy and fun it is to compose classic letterpress type on the vintage Ludlow Typograph. You'll set your own type!

Maybe your name and address for personal stationery, or maybe a favorite saying or sentiment for art prints and cards. Choose from a large and growing variety of fonts and sizes that you can use to print your own letterpress projects!

Cast metal type can be used for stamping a variety of materials, such as clay or polymer clay or hand stamping with an inkpad. There will be a $1 material cost for each slug (cast line of type), which you can take with you.

What you'll learn:
Type composition
Tips for type design and spacing
