This workshop explored the creation and printing of broadsides, showcasing a variety of techniques, including handset type, monotyping on the letterpress, pressure printing, and pochoir. Students brought haikus or a short poem (ideally less than 50 words) for use in the prints. I showed examples of contemporary broadsides, discussion focused on the relationship between text and image, the history of broadsides, and best practices for printing and editioning. |
