Screen-printing meets Bookbinding meets Letterpress!

Join fellow Detroit printmakers Stacey Malasky and Melissa Dettloff in this action packed screen printing themed workshop.

In this one day workshop you will learn screen printing, letterpress and bookbinding techniques! Participants will make three 5”x7” notebooks with screen printed & letter pressed covers, blank interiors and pamphlet stitch binding. 

Students will learn the art of over-printing with screens and squeegees to compose the covers of their journals. Next step will be to adorn the cover with letterpress phrases composed by Stacey and Melissa. Finally, the covers and the interior pages will be hand-stitched together. 

Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by S-R staff and takeaway prints. Paper in this workshop is from French Paper Company, a small Michigan Paper Mill around for more than 140 years.
