The print workshop was very effective at communicating the intense and tedious nature of the printing process. Despite the time it took to accomplish relatively little, it was very fun to experience the process in person. The galley was more difficult to set up than I was anticipating, and deciphering the correct way to line up each letter was also more challenging than I was expecting. The actual act of using the printing press was very easy and it was very satisfying producing a clean print. I enjoy immersing myself in the process of creating the art form we are studying because it provides a unique lens to view the artwork that would be unattainable without actual experience creating the art ourselves.
