Letterpress
Come experience the classical process of printing by letterpress in our unique and historic building. WSW has a Chandler and Price Platen Press and Vandercook Proof Press and a wide array of wood and lead type. In addition to typesetting, artists working in WSW's letterpress studio have the option of creating their own photopolymer plates. Artists are welcome to study letterpress printing during our Summer Arts Institute, to rent the studio on an as-needed basis, or to use the equipment as part of a Book Arts Grant. Women's Studio Workshop also offers private instruction at an hourly rate.
