In this workshop both printing novices and those with some experience will use the Vandercook proof press to print two different kinds of party accoutrements: paper napkins, along with menu or cocktail cards to be filled in by hand when an occasion arises. Each student will choose from SFCB’s collection of type and ornaments to create their own design. Everybody takes home 20 napkins and 20 food or drink cards. Amaze your future guests! Be ready to party like it’s 2020!
