We put emphasis on practical know-how. If you come to our intensive high-level course, you will be able to prepare a block by computer, to make the block and to print it even in multicolor. On the basic course we just slightly touch the block making subjects because there is not enough time to learn making our own bloks.
Main themes on both letterpess courses: typography, ink types, inking, working of letterpress machines, types of letterpress machines, types and making of blocks and films, contacting, hand composing, wood and lead types and of course a lot of printing.
