Letterpress course at KhiO

I was very happy on Monday before it started and even happier at the end. Teaching others when they are eager to learn, creative, want to learn and has such a drive to actually use the equipment is just a dream.  We started off with wood type on Monday and started setting metal type on Wednesday. By the end of the week they had almost no questions and was printing loads of beautiful prints. It seems like everyone had a great week, and I hope they will use the equipment further.

Here are some of the prints they produced during the week.

I set this to show how to work with wood type.

Load of ink and mixing of inks.

 

I had to show them how the Heidelberg machine works, and they got to try. 

Mini letterpress course :)

Next week, on Tuesday 13th of March, I will put up an miniletterpress course for everyone that wants to try, look, learn, feel, touch and smell what I love so much :)
It will be open for those that want. Because of space, equipment and only my two hands and two eyes, I can take only 8 people on this course. Even with one or two the course will run! If many more wants to come, I’ll try and arrange for another one later :)

Time: 16.30 – (until we are tired and want to go home)
Place: Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo
Price: 300,-

All material is included other than paper. Bring what you got or what you want to try out!

Let me know if you want to come
