Last Wednesday, I finally started my letterpress class at the Armory Center for the Arts. I’ve been wanting to take this class for years, but always used the same excuse, “don’t have time because of work”. Of course, I can’t use that excuse any longer. I should have used the “I’m unemployed and broke” excuse. But, as you can see, I don’t listen to that one.

It’s a small class, about 6 students taught by Denise Figueredo. She lets you print whatever you want, except Wedding Invitations. I had a hard time trying to figure out what to work on. So I started with my name and email, a simple letterpress calling card. They only have a few fonts and no Neutra. Oh no, no Neutra. So, using Futura Lite 30 & 18.

I was having more fun just handling all the type and playing with it. I should be able to print my cards in the next class. I’ll have to get some paper. Damn, me in a paper store, that’s dangerous.
