RETURNs JULY 17, 2022
Print Futures is a free, quarterly series spotlighting the next generation of emerging letterpress printers.
Celebrating Emerging Printers

All Are Welcome
Print Futures is geared toward emerging letterpress printers—whether college students, interns, or printers at community centers—but all ages and levels of experience are welcome. This quarterly series takes place online, via Zoom, and is free to attend.
The Summer 2022 edition of Print Futures will take place on Sunday, July 17.
