Letterpress Class - 5/10
Come and learn the art of printing with antique letterpresses! Using our three presses - Gertie, Bertha and Fiona - you'll learn the basics of how the presses work, how to ink them, and how to print designs using a modern boxcar base system. (Please note: this class will not cover setting antique type.) Go home with your own set of stationery that you printed yourself!
When: Saturday, May 10th, 10am-12pm
Where: Farmette Artisan Shop, 22069 Palo Way, Palo Cedro
Ages 15+
If anyone younger than 15 would like to attend please email us at shop@farmette.co and we will see what we can do.
What to Bring: Letterpress ink can be messy and permanently stain clothes! We recommend wearing something you wouldn't mind getting dirty, and avoiding loose bracelets which might get in the way as you're printing. If you have long hair, you might want to tie it back.

Let customers speak for us
Extra touches included with my order made this feel extra special (a candle, tea bag, little note pages to use). Also the box that my cards came in is so sweet and cute - so many little touches that made this order beyond lovely.
These cards are beautifully made and a joy to send to friends.
Love the note and the texture of it. I have no complaints of the product just wish it had come before Valentine’s Day
