Letterpress Workshops with Kyle Durrie of Power & Light Press and Movable Type : SOLD OUT

February 13, 2012 - February 14, 2012 @ k2forma

Since June 2011, Kyle Durrie's Type Truck has been touring the country teaching the old fashioned art of letterpress. During her stay in Charlotte, Kyle will be running three, 2.5 hour, intimate workshops.

Attendees will learn about the equipment and tools used for letterpress printing, and gain hands on experience typesetting, locking up the press, inking, and pulling prints. Participants will walk away with a set of custom cards that they've designed and printed themselves!

SOLD OUT

If you're hearing about this opportunity too late, and the workshops have sold out, be sure attend our Type Truck Open House on Tuesday night at 4:30 PM. Kyle will also be delivering a short lecture about her mobile studio, and life on the road, during our star-studded letterpress panel discussion.

Founded in 2007, k2forma designs brand identities, marketing and advertising campaigns, events, publications and web sites for numerous world-class corporations and non-profit organizations. We have successfully serviced companies and national brands in the action sports, motorsports, retail, small business, music, education, and healthcare industries. Last year after purchasing a turn-of-the-century letterpress printer, we have been obsessively printing with vintage wood type, hand-made wood cuts, and polymer plates. The inclusion of letterpress allows us to get back to the fundamentals of designing and creating. With so much time spent behind computers, it helps us be more creative when we can work with our hands.
