Sunday, November 15th, 2026 from noon-5pm eastern time.
Come print a set of folding cards to send to your favorite people for the holidays or another occasion! In this 5-hour workshop, experience the old-time art of letterpress printing by learning how to set & print antique wood and metal type to make your own set of folding cards.
Each participant will head home with a set of 10 folding cards & matching envelopes along with a newfound appreciation & knowledge of printing history.
No prior letterpress printing or design experience necessary whatsoever. This workshop is open to anyone, but I ask that any children under 18 are accompanied with a parent or guardian (separate ticket necessary if you both want to make your own prints).
This workshop is held in the Gingerly Press Studio located on the first floor in the Ice House Studios (wheelchair accessible) in the lively Central Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh. After the workshop, enjoy dinner right up the street at one of the many locations along Butler Street— invite a friend and make an afternoon & evening of it!
Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be provided during the workshop.
Workshop participants will have access to 15% off all Gingerly Press products during their time in the studio.
The week of the workshop, I will send you an email reminder for the event & travel details. See my Workshop FAQs for additional details in the meantime.
Workshops require a minimum of 4 participants to run. In the event that a workshop does not meet this minimum, you will receive a full-refund 48-hours prior to the workshop date.
