About this event

Let’s Make+Take! %$&! — This Make+Take challenges participants to come up with a favorite four-letter word using trays of random large wood type to create fun and funky posters. Each person will have a chance to create a small edition of prints with their word and the option to trade prints with others in the class.

Level: Beginner – no experience necessary

Registration closes November 11, 2026 and all materials are provided.

A few ideas for your four-letter word!

Note: For your safety we also recommend short sleeves only, close-toed shoes, and that long hair be tied back.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

Hannah Wang fell in love with letterpress after taking her first class at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center back in 2023. A graphic designer by trade, Hannah loves seeing how real life type locks can come together into beautiful pieces of art, as well as setting type into powerful and meaningful messages. She’s often experimenting to continue honing her craft and loves sharing the joy of letterpress with others. You can find her design and art work on Instagram at @hannahw_solariscreative.
