hi piper
glad to hear you're interested in learning the chapter skill of
letterpress printing
i added you to the mailing list
apo-printshop-wants-training@mit.edu
which also gets mail sent to
apo-printshop@mit.edu
to be able to use the press by yourself, i.e become a press operator,
you have to be:
- a brother of alpha chi
- have successfully completed both a training run and a qualifying
run
completing just a training run, fulfills the chapter skills pledge
requirement
i do most of the training and qualifying runs on the letterpress,
with lori tsuruda
lori@pmd.org
doing as many as she can
a training run takes between 6 and 8 hours, and can be split into two
roughly equal sessions. a qualifying run usually take 3 to 4 hours
when you want to get trained, please get back to me!
with times/dates we could schedule a training run,
i have a preference for weeknights, and weekends

ps: please wear shop-safe, stainable clothes. the press is ax's
largest power tool, and one has to be very careful when using it. and
ink is like paint. gloves and aprons are available, but not 100%
effective.
