  • Signal Return 9301 Kercheval Avenue Detroit, MI, 48214 United States (map)

Instructed by Stephanie Carpenter (Hamilton Wood Type Museum)

PRICE: $75

Class Size: Maximum 8

Join us for an evening letterpress workshop at Signal-Return, led by guest instructor, Stephanie Carpenter, from Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. 

Using blocks from Hamilton’s vibrant Globe Collection, you’ll create bold, eye-catching posters while exploring historic wood type and vintage blocks. Perfect for beginners or seasoned printers, this session is all about creativity and technique. 

Bring an idea for your poster—keep it short and impactful, with 6 words or about 40 characters. With an emphasis on play, experimentation, and embracing the unexpected, we will dive into Hamilton’s Globe Collection of type and image to create one-of-a-kind 11x17 poster prints.

Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by guest staff and takeaway prints. Paper in this workshop is from French Paper Company, a small Michigan Paper Mill around for more than 140 years.
