Letterpress Love

Valentine Puzzle Purses are single sheets of paper folded into envelope-like packets—essentially a flat box. Called “Tato” in Japan, they were used to store buttons and needles, and in Britain, love notes were hidden inside. During this fast-paced workshop, we’ll focus on composing type and ornaments to letterpress print small enclosure cards. Students will also learn how to fold puzzle purses to enclose their hand- printed notes. Beginners are welcome and all supplies will be provided. Just bring yourself and an apron.
