INKubator PRESS of Kansas City is announcing its workshop schedule for 2011.  We've got a lot going on in the shop, from book binding to letterpress, with screen printing, and etching as well.  January and February are scheduled so far with more classes in the coming months.  Check our website for updated times, descriptions, and details. 

Basic Letterpress with Kevin Horvath

Kevin has come to INK Press with his type cabinet, ornaments and wood type to teach small groups about the sweet art of letterpress printing.  Students will be given the chance to set their own type and to work with different papers and presses in making their prints. Everyone will get to exchange prints and it should be a very exciting and exploratory event.
