For 8 weeks, starting July 1st, these Levi’s Workshops are places for creation, inspiration, and collaboration. Located in San Francisco’s iconic Mission District at 580 Valencia Street, Levi’s has opened up a community print shop and will be teaching classes on classic Vandercook and Chandler & Price letterpresses, setting type and screen printing. See a list of upcoming events here.

On 3.27.2010, AIGA Cleveland and Cranky Pressman held Cranky Camp. Cranky Camp is a 6 hour letterpress printing workshop where visitors are allowed to dig into wood and metal type, digbats and cuts, to make themselves a poster. Some of the results can be found on the Cranky Pressman’s Flickr page. Very cool to see people opening their shops for all that are interested. Thank you to Keith and Jamie Berger for providing this educational opportunity to AIGA Cleveland. You rock.

Amazing design, illustration and printing in the limited edition letterpress book titled Phosphorescent Face Highlighter by Sarah Nicholls. Printed and bound in an edition of 45.
