We’re happy to have fine apprentices who help around the print shop and learn the art of letterpress. The preservation of this craft relies on others taking it up. This page serves as a connection for them and anyone else interested in learning about letterpress and the history of printing in the Cocalico Valley.
Become a Virtual Apprentice. Even if you are unable to participate in our program you can be an apprentice. We will be developing a program that will allow anyone to participate. Watch this page.
