1-4pm We Can’t Afford Poverty Print Workshop
Please register in advance
This is a free public workshop for all ages using traditional printing techniques to create posters for the We Can’t Afford Poverty Campaign. Using the original printing press from the old Woodwards Department Store, workshop participants will learn firsthand how to layout type and print their own message. The workshop will be led by WePress collective members. Due to the small printing space, participation will be limited to 6 people on a first-come-first-served basis.
