About the Workshop:
Letterpress is one of the oldest forms of printmaking and it is a versatile asset to the book artist in the production of editions, text, images, and more. Learn the steps for making full color, photographic prints on a letterpress using the CMYK photopolymer plate technique. In the first session of the class on Zoom, Castaldo will teach students about color separation, how to work on prepping images in photoshop, and the proper settings for both ordering plates and for in-studio output. Then in the remaining classes in CBA’s studios, students will learn how to properly mix ink for CMYK printing as well as learn the proper registration techniques for printing photographic images on letterpress.
What are the prerequisites or required experience for this workshop? Letterpress and photoshop experience are helpful but not required.
Required Materials:
- Pencil and paper for taking notes
- A color photograph
- Access to a computer with photoshop or other photo editing software (students can download a free trial of photoshop from the adobe website)
- Please wear closed-toed shoes and clothes that can get stained or dirty (CBA will provide aprons, but the ink used on press can stain)
All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
