Make+Take: Upcycled Prints with Wood Type

Turn discarded sheet music, book pages, maps, and other found paper into one-of-a-kind letterpress prints during this hands‑on evening workshop. Participants will work with wood type on a printing press, learning the basics of setting type and inking to transfer bold, tactile impressions onto repurposed paper. The session is designed for anyone curious about letterpress and sustainable art-making—no prior print experience is needed, and all materials are provided.

When: Wednesday, August 26, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Showtimes: This is a single‑session workshop; the 7:00–9:00 PM time block is the full duration.

Tickets: Price not specified by the organizer; check Pyramid Atlantic’s website or contact them directly for registration details.

Lineup: Not applicable—this is a hands‑on workshop led by the center’s instructors, not a performance.
