Complimentary refreshments will be provided by The Tank Brewing company. Event for ages 21 and up.

Test your skills at Suminagashi Paper Marbling and Letterpress Printing with real, vintage wood-type machines from IS Projects’ antique-type collection, take part in Write-A-Sign poster making, and learn Japanese-style paper marbling techniques using water and ink to create intricate and unique designs.
