Workshop: Make Your Own Letterpress Valentines!

Workshop: Make Your Own Letterpress Valentines!

Join us in the Scholars' Lab to print colorful hand-made Valentine's Day cards on the BookBeetle Press with printmaker Josef Beery. Bring your own cards and envelopes if you have them! This will be an approximately two-hour hands-on workshop. Students will create a custom-printed Valentine's Day card to take away.

This workshop is open to all in the UVA and Charlottesville community. Registration is not required, and attendees are welcome to stay for the entire workshop or drop in as they can.

Instructor Josef Beery is a local artist and educator who focuses on historic forms of printing. He helped found the Virginia Arts of the Book Center in Charlottesville, Virginia in collaboration with many energetic artists and friends.  He is a Fellow in Brown Residential College at University of Virginia, and an instructor at Sweet Briar College.
