Hatch Show Print Tour - Grades 5-12th

Explore Hatch Show Print and learn all about the iconic poster shop. Guides share the letterpress printing process from initial sketches to the final pass through the press. Students hear the history of the second-oldest surviving printing press in the country and discover how it thrives in the digital age. Surrounded by over fifty years-worth of colorful posters, students watch print makers engineer works of art live. The program culminates in an original, limited edition poster hand-inked and printed by students.  This event is for students in grades 5-12th (siblings can come as well).   Priority will be given to our Digital Arts Class students for this event.
