Cylinder Core Certificate Program

The handfed cylinder proof press, also known as the Vandercook press, has a special place in both print history and in teaching book arts. Immediate and accessible, yet nuanced and specific, it is the press that introduced many of us to letterpress. The four class Cylinder Core Certificate Program allows students to move quickly through the press basics while also addressing relief printing in general. Students who finish the four core classes are qualified to rent press time as well as move on to more advanced classes and techniques. Click here to learn more about the Core Certification Program and find out how you receive a discount.

Past Student Reviews:

“Paula did a great job in terms of setting expectations and encouraging people along. She also clearly stated her goals for the class which I think is always helpful - she then did a wrap up at the end to reflect back outcome of goals - again helpful. Thanks Paula!”
