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.
Registration Deadline: September 19, 2026
