to end the week off, i thought i'd post a list of letterpress classes offered in various cities. this is a big world though, so i'm apologize for not even covering a smidgen of all the cities there are. i encourage you to ask around your community, find a local printer, and definitely check briar press. you can often find classes that are being offered posted at briar press in the workshops & events classifieds section. there are lots of resources available, have fun :)

Oh Danni, I am sooo excited, Chicopee, MA is only about 45 min from my home!!!!! I didn't think any of these classes would be anywhere near my little country home. This made my day!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've taken snap & tumble's Letterpress Curiosity Workshop and it's wonderful to be able to get a chance to use her Craftsmen and the Adana. It's in Toronto too(Scarborough is within the Greater Toronto area).
ReplyDeleteSapling Press in Pittsburgh, PA will sometimes post class details on the Sapling Press Blog.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for posting about St. Louis! I feel like all of the cool classes are in NY, Chicago, or LA so this makes me happy! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Minnesota Center for Book Arts (openbookmn.org) offers letterpress classes in Minneapolis, MN!
