This one-day workshop will focus on the Dry Rotary Angle Chase and its possible use as a letterpress tool. Each participant will be guided through using the Angle Chase (in 3 sizes) to make "Letterpress Spirographs". Instructor Richard Kegler will give an overview of the development of the Angl;e Chase as an idea through prototypes and eventually commercial production of this unique plastic modular type.
This workshop will be held using two flat bed cylinder presses: Our Vandercook Universal III AB P (included an automated carriage and paper delivery system) and our Reprex #2
