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.
