Craft Lake City is pleased to welcome Speedball Art as a first-time sponsor of The Fifth Annual Craft Lake City LetterWest, taking place April 10–11 in Midvale, UT. Speedball will support renowned lettering artist Jessica Hische’s Linocut Lettering workshop, helping bring hands-on printmaking experience to attendees.
Led by Hische, the workshop invites participants to explore carving and printing their own letterforms using linocut techniques. With a focus on both craftsmanship and creative expression, attendees will gain practical skills while experimenting with a tactile, traditional approach to lettering.
To support the experience, Speedball– an industry-leading manufacturer of printmaking and lettering tools– has provided professional-grade equipment, giving attendees access to industry standard resources. In addition,product contributions for giveaways and goodie bags will allow participants to continue exploring their craft beyond the workshop.
Craft Lake City is proud to partner with Speedball in supporting this unique workshop experience at LetterWest.
