Press Club

The Press Club is our active community here at the Press.  Everyone who’s taken Letterpress 101 and has become familiar with the equipment and letterpress process is invited to join in and participate in a variety of ways: take part in our monthly Press Club gatherings where we share ideas and work on projects, attend skills building workshops, help with projects at the Press, volunteer for events and pop-ups, and other opportunities to gather around letterpress and printmaking.

• The Press Club stays in touch through our monthly email and regular get-togethers.
• Consign products to be sold in the Mancos Commons retail area.
