This is an open studio class for people who want to work on their own projects at their own pace, or who want to develop their skills in letterpress printing and/or book arts. No experience is necessary to begin to learn the art of letterpress printing, simply a desire to explore the crafts of setting type by hand and hand feeding paper into the press one sheet at a time. Or, learn how to design and create your own books by working with paper, glues, pastes and adhesives, and a variety of binding techniques. Some familiarity with basic bookbinding techniques and terms is helpful and is usually satisfied by taking one of my weekend workshops offered through the UW Experimental College. My studio is fully equipped with many cases of type, Vandercook presses and a 1926 Chandler & Price. There is also a guillotine paper cutter, a board shear, a backing press for rounding and backing books and an extensive reference and artist's book collection.

Notes:
The class meets every Wednesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. You can start at any time and continue for as long as you like. It is $75 for four weeks. I have a Letterpress Punch Card...if you come 12 times, the 13th time is free! People often ask if they must come consecutive weeks, and the answer is that I understand that people have busy lives so I don not require that you come every week only that you actually work on and complete your project...for your satisfaction (and mine).

Review of Bonnie Thompson Norman, October 27, 2009
Bonnie's patient, gentle methods of teaching make it easy for even people who have never done any book binding to produce a beautiful book and beautiful box to keep it in. We had a lot of fun in the class and everyone stay relaxed and helpful.
