Poetry and Letterpress Intensive
Join artist, writer, and printmaker RA Washington for a six-hour immersive workshop exploring the relationship between poetry and letterpress. Open to writers, artists, and printmakers of all experience levels. In this workshop, RA invites participants to consider language as both a literary and material practice—and to consider the letterpress as an extension of the writing process itself. Through writing exercises, group discussions, and hands-on instruction in handset type and letterpress printing, participants will compose original poems while experimenting with scale, spacing, ink, and impression. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the relationship between text and form, along with an original letterpress broadside that reflects their own voice and creative inquiry. No previous experience with poetry or letterpress is necessary.

Intermediate Screen Print With Paul Serrianne Part I
DAY 1 OF 2 MUST BE AVAILABLE BOTH DAYS
Saturday, December 5, 2026 and Saturday, December 12, 2026

City & the City : Experimental Risograph Cartographies With Tony Yanik
What happens when one city occupies the same page as another? Using a shared map of Cleveland as a starting point, participants will cut, distort, layer, erase, overprint, and misregister the city into multiple simultaneous versions: the given, the felt, the haunted, and the possible. This hands-on workshop treats the risograph as more than a reproduction machine. Through transparent inks, color separation, handmade textures, double printing, intentional drift, and variable editions, participants will explore how Riso’s quirks can become tools for mapping memory, emotion, absence, and imagined futures. No printmaking or cartography experience is required. Participants will leave with a small edition of experimental prints—and several new ways of thinking about what a map, a city, and a risograph can do.
