TAFE Short Course
Letterpress short course @ North Metropolitan TAFE 'Freedom of the press' with Fresh Lemon Print
Roll up your sleeves and get your hands inky in the TAFE, city based, Perth Letterpress Workshop.
This is a unique opportunity to enter an analogue typographic world to create unique printed designs on our incredible antique machinery, using a blend of 100+ year old moveable wood and lead type and experiment with your own customised modern laser cut blocks.
The workshop is designed for the first-time printer, emerging or veteran graphic designers or hobbyist who may have a keen interest in the world of letterpress, 'misprinted' type, handset experiments. In the workshop you will have the choice to 'lock-up' your type and print using NM TAFE's coveted Columbia Press, baby Albion, A3 Poco Presses, SRA3 Farley benchtop and our two Adana small job hand crank printing presses.
Our facilitator, Phil Gambill (Fresh Lemon Print) will work closely with you in small groups to develop a series of beautiful, printed goods, including posters, stationery or printmaking experiments one night a week, for five weeks.
