Course Code: 26SPM103I

This two-day, in-person workshop takes place on Saturday and Sunday, February 21st - 22nd, from 11AM to 5PM ET

  • Saturday, February 21st, from 11AM to 5PM ET
  • Sunday, February 22nd, from 11AM to 5PM ET

Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on February 10th, at 11:59pm Eastern Time.


About the Workshop:

Join us for a weekend-long inky experiment in printing. Students will combine the traditional, tactile printing method of letterpress with the modern, vibrant, and somewhat "imperfect" quality of Riso printing to create unique, layered, and visually interesting prints. We will push the boundaries of both techniques through experimentation with color, texture, and design elements, and explore the differences between the two techniques. Students will make improvisational prints using found materials that they bring with them, and the printshop’s collections. At the end of the weekend we will bind together a simple collaborative zine of our experiments to share and take home.


Required Materials:

    • Low relief collage materials: fabrics with texture, lace, embroidery, found objects that can be scanned, plant materials, buttons, ribbon, bubble wrap, stickers and stencils. I will bring materials for students to experiment with, but they should bring anything that speaks to them and their work.

    All other materials will be provided by the Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.

      Not great at cooling
      Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
      Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

      excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
      Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
      I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

      The Perfect Firm Pillow l
      Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
      It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.
