Online demonstration via Zoom. Participants receive a sample print after the session.

It’s not as difficult as it looks! It takes a little planning and forethought, but tight registration (that is, alignment) of multiple ink colors on a hand-fed platen press is a breeze. Join us in raising the standards of what good printing looks like in this informative demonstration.

She's the co-founder of Ladies of Letterpress, an organization founded in 2008 and dedicated to the promotion and continuance of the art and craft of letterpress printing. Trained at the print shop of the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany, Kseniya got her start setting type by hand and enjoys teaching others and encouraging others to share their skills. Her work has been featured in numerous letterpress books, design periodicals, trade journals, and blogs. Kseniya lives and works in Ogden, Utah.
