If you've been yearning to transform your poetry into posters, we have the class for you! In Broadsides for Poets, you will create a two-color 11 x 17 inch broadside featuring a poem of your choosing (or writing) paired with images from the studio's collection of old-fashioned cuts and linoleum blocks. In addition to exploring the basics of broadside layout, you will be setting metal & wood type, using photopolymer plates, mixing ink and printing on the studio's Vandercook proof presses. No previous experience is necessary.

Thanks again for your consideration.
