Do-it-Yourself Custom Rental:
Want to print your own letterpressed posters, cards or Wedding Invitations? You purchase your own materials such as paper, polymer plates, etc. and rent time to print it yourself. I will help you set-it up (I have specific guidelines), teach you how to run the press (simple) and then go for it. Contact me with your project details. Limit of 2 people at a time (couples, friends, etc.)
Have Vandercook experience and need a place to print? In Orange County, rental time is available at my studio or there are two Vandercooks to rent time on at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. I can arrange a special rate to use the studio regularly for business or individual purposes.
Custom classes on Fridays and Saturdays Fall 2010:
I can also arrange custom letterpress and book arts classes depending on your topic and number in your group. Contact me and state specifically what you are looking for and I will respond promptly with details and prices. I specifically love working with educators, graphic designers and hobbyists wanting to go further in the letterpress/book arts field. I am also portable and can come to your location. I revel in creatively meeting your needs – your ideas are worth discussing or I can recommend somebody who could get it done.
*Note: If you are serious about letterpress or want to start your own letterpress business I have some specific recommendations and where to get training. Some opportunities are listed here.
