The Olympia Free School has their winter catalog out and one of the listings especially intrigues me. Community Print is offering a class Intro to Letter Press.

Here is their description about what Community Print is all about:

Community Print is an Olympia based artist's collective comprised of printers, writers, and rabble rousers of all visual persuasions. We hope to facilitate creative expression and cultural disturbance by sharing access to resources and building a community of artists. Our space is meant as a tool for the creation and distribution of independently published media and art.

We have a selection of type and 2 proof presses for hand set letterpress printing, silkscreening facilities, bookbinding and paper making supplies, and a handmade book and zine library. We provide workshops and volunteer run studio hours as well as resources and information on the printing arts.

Our goal is to encourage growth and change in our world by providing a space for ideas to come together and tools to cultivate meaningful work.
