The Letterpress Intensive workshop is offering an opportunity to explore
letterpress typography by typesetting and printing poetry interlined with its
translation in a second language and typeface. Students with an interest in
Latin, Hebrew, or ancient Greek are especially encouraged to attend but no
classic language knowledge or letterpress experience is required. Participants
will learn about historic typefaces and how to hand set and print a short poem
of one's choice using movable metal type. They will receive intensive hands-on
instruction in the nuances of traditional fine book typography and printing.
Examples of the project from earlier workshops are on display outside the
Treasure Room in Baker Library.

An informational meeting open to all will be held Sunday, April 2, from 2 to 3
pm in Baker room 21. At the end of this introductory session, attendees can
decide if they would like to register to participate in the workshop.
Subsequent sessions will be held on Sunday afternoons from 2 to 5 pm through
the term. Faculty and staff are welcome to attend with students given priority
for registration which is limited to six. All materials and equipment will be
provided by the workshop. Anyone interested in more information should contact
Won.K.Chung @ Dartmouth.edu.
