I took the Intro to Letterpress class here, taught by Morgan. It was fun and easy-going, and Morgan was great about showing us the basics and letting us experiment and make mistakes. Taking the class allows you to become a member of the shop which I plan on doing at some point(maybe this summer). A fantastic resource for anyone interesting in printing!

AS220 has three locations, Empire St(gallery), Broad St(community classes) and the Mathewson St(printshop). As my review was mainly for the printshop, I thought I would add the location, and add the review I wrote. Be sure to checkout the reviews for the other AS220. —- I LOVEAS220!!! In particular the printshop. Morgan and crew run it and teach class for Americorps in the afternoons/evenings as well as workshops on the evenings/weekend in silkscreen, letterpress, intalgio, and more. Pretty much, you name it they’ve got it. The environment is cool and hip and everyone is super creative and fun to be around, very nurturing. Also, after you take a class or have an orientation you can use the facilities by becoming a member — there are a number of memberships for various needs. … Its also one of the only places that has a letterpress available for printing — which is one of the best maintained Vandercook’s I’ve used.(There I go again, giving away tips and sharing secrets about things I love.)
