This introductory class leads students through the process of creating their own unique holiday cards. Participants will learn the basics of composing type by setting a holiday greeting or simple image, and then print cards using SFCB’s vast collection of lead type and decorative ornaments.

Each student will leave with a lovely stack of printed cards and envelopes. 

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring: All tools and materials will be provided.
