We're thrilled to offer two single-day letterpress poster workshops with the inimitable Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., visiting us from Detroit. This is the Saturday, November 9 session.

This one day workshop is designed for those who have never printed before, or least those who are prepared to forget what they already know. Come with boundless curiosity and a message that you want to get out to the world. Be prepared to sweat! 
 

Two workshop seats per class will be reserved for low-income BIPOC-identifying (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students. The application is now closed.

Be sure to check out the current exhibition at the Letterform Archive: Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. :: Citizen Printer.

>> Prerequisite: None. The less printing experience the better! <<
 

Materials to Bring: None. All tools and materials will be provided.

Date & Time: Saturday, November 9, 2024 :: 9:30am-5:30pm

Location: 375 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94103

NOTE: Please read over the SFCB Registration Policies before signing up for a class. Registration will close approximately three days prior to the start date of the workshop to allow the instructor time to prep materials for class. We recommend you not wait to register, as workshops that don't meet our minimum enrollment will be canceled, sometimes as much as a week in advance.
