Open Letter Collective

Open Letter Collective fosters community through creative collaboration, offering workshops and resources in book arts and storytelling. They aim to empower individuals by preserving literary culture and enhancing skills in a supportive environment.

Design a custom group letterpress workshop with Open Letter Collective. Share what brings your group together and the stories you want to lift up 🖨️. We&rsquo;ll use your responses to shape a hands-on session that encourages creativity and dialogue. Everyone will go home with printed pieces they can share 🗣️. Tell us about your group, access needs, and goals so we can plan a welcoming, inclusive experience for you.

Custom Group Letterpress Workshop

Set your words in motion 🎨🖨️ with our letterpress activity. Share a short phrase, poem, or message, and we&rsquo;ll help you turn it into a hand-printed piece on our presses. Open Letter Collective uses activities like this to share media literacy, printmaking skills, and the power of independent print in a digital world.

Paperback to Hardcover Workshop

Tetra Pak Etching is an affordable way to upcycle those old containers into tantalizing, detailed prints with those tasty, sketchy little lines and inky depths. BUT HOW THE HECK DOES THAT WORK? For this month&#39;s FAFO workshop we&#39;ll be playing around with making Tetra Pak plates, and then trying to figure out how to ink and print them. This is a non-traditional, co-teaching workshop. Come if you have years of experience and want to get some new tips. Come if you have literally no experience, and play around to see if you&#39;ve got your new obsession. Together we&#39;ll investigate this unique printing style and build some community along the way! Materials will be provided, but if you have stuff on hand you&#39;re welcome to bring that along!
