Book Arts

In the Letterpress Studio, we have a variety of presses to use after you complete a Letterpress Orientation.

Vandercook SP 15 

Vandercook SP 20

Washington Hand Press

Pearl Platen Press (You will need to get a lesson on how to operate this press, which is not included in the Letterpress Orientation.)

In addition to the presses, we have a large selection of metal and wood type available for use. Any metal type used can be stored for up to a term before we request that the user redistribute it. We ask that any wood type used be returned the same day. 

The bindery is a clean space with tables and tools to complete any bookbinding projects. We also have various craft supplies such as markers, pencils, stamps, and more.

A few highlights are:

Board shear

Cut trimmer

Book presses 

Book models and instruction sheets

Carving tools for linoleum

Stamps and ink pads

Awls

Olfa knives and X-Acto knives

Scissors

Needles and thread
