Having no letter press experience at all, my partner and I took this class and had the BEST time! Madeleine is an amazing teacher - she explained each step of the process to us so clearly that we felt comfortable doing everything ourselves after watching her and listening to her instruction. She gave us fun insights into her design process/inspiration, logistics of procuring the plates to print, and a little mini history lesson on the mechanics of her vintage press! She was also super patient with us while we spent time mixing up the specific color of blue we were imaging in our heads. We would absolutely take the class again - it’s sooo cool getting to print your own cards on such an old press, and would be so fun to be able to give our cards for different holidays that we printed ourselves!
