What have been some of your most special times with your Mom?
For Mother’s Day, 2023, International Printing Museum, in Carson, would like to help you plan another one.
On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14th, they’ll be hosting their “Mother’s and Makers Letterpress Type Slam”.
This is a four-hour workshop where you can learn to create and print custom posters. On the curriculum: some of the history of letterpress printing, how to select wood type from the Museum’s collection of vintage printers, and how to lock up a form in a chase, ink, and print.

And you’re invited to come join them, to create custom posters as a gift for your Mom or a mother figure in your life. Or simply for fun.
But also, if you mother is local, you’re invited to bring her and learn together, for a special Mother’s Day afternoon.
This is a very hands-on, active workshop, which culminates in a print exchange where you can take away a portfolio of prints made during the course.
Never done printing before? All levels are welcome, and it’s going to be fun! However, class size is limited to 10 students, so now would be the time to find out more. Here’s the link for registration.
