if you have ever wanted to get inky in a fully-functioning letterpress printing studio, you have come to the right place. folding bones press is located less than one mile away from downtown sebastopol, california, and offers printing, bookbinding, and poetry workshops to all ages and skill levels.
katie has been leading letterpress printing education initiatives in sonoma county since 2010. what she enjoys most is the looks of wonder that peak every time someone pulls their first print.
-
absolutely not! we love beginners. everyone finds something to love about letterpess printing — the craft involves history, mathematics, engineering, literature, bibliophila, and more, and appeals to many different types of individuals
-
letterpress and other classes range from $75-250 per person, depending on the length and difficulty of the class! Some will be 4 hours, 8 hours, or span more hours over multiple weeks 🖨️
-
introductory classes are suitable for children as young as 8 years old. special , private projects can be formulated for younger ages, though moveable type and larger presses may not be involved.
-
public workshops must hit a certain capacity to avoid cancellation. i encourage you to sign up with friends and family if you enjoy working with familiar faces, otherwise get ready to make new friends!
private workshops are available, especially for projects like: printing your own wedding invitations, teambuilding activities, and more. -
the folding bones press studio is a small but mighty shop. if you have mobility requirements, we should discuss if another location or private class might be more suitable.
Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.
— Austin Kleon
give the gift of letterpress this holiday season! gift cards can be used toward the balance of a custom printed product or a private/public workshop!
