SFPUL Hot Printing Workshop
This workshop is inspired by the experimental typographic prints of H. N. Werkman (1882-1945), an early 20th-century Dutch artist, designer, and publisher. Werkman pushed the boundaries of letterpress printing with his unconventional technique, which he called “hot printing.”
Molly Dotson (Graphic Arts Librarian) and Ariel Ackerly (Makerspace Specialist) will provide a brief introduction to Werkman’s oeuvre and the hot printing process. Participants will then have an opportunity to print their own designs using 3D-printed letterforms on an 1840s Albion iron hand press.
This workshop is open to Student Friends of the Princeton University Library. Registration is required. All materials provided.
