This is a paid class that requires registration. Sign up here.

Draw your own set of bookplates and print them with Risograph in this hands-on workshop session at Push/Pull!

Bookplates are a fun vintage way to flex on your library and get your friends to return your books when you so kindly lend them out and share your great taste. Historically bookplates had themes based on the library owner, such as coats of arms, personal symbolism, family crests, or other personal quirkiness.

In this class we will design our own set of bookplates and print them with Push/Pull's Risograph machine for a retro look. Each student will leave class with a set of 36 self-designed bookplates.
