Free download! A Pickwick member designed this 11x17” whistle protocol poster - we’ve added it to our free downloads page (link in bio) and also updated the Hotline cards to reflect when to call vs. when to text. Again, if you don’t have the ability to print yourself, feel free to fill out the form on the downloads page and we can print some for you. Thanks to everyone who keeps sharing updated information, organizing on the ground, and showing up for our community. 🔥🧊

Have you ever been curious about what letterpress is all about? Do you want to send Valentines to your friends? We’ve got you covered! In this four hour workshop, you will learn how to design, typeset, and print a one color, 3x4” Valentine using our collection of lead type and fun cuts (aka little images).
Each participant will walk away with at least 40 prints! The singular ink color will be collectively decided and a variety of paper colors will be provided. This is a great workshop to begin to learn the basics of letterpress printing and how to print on our Vandercook cylinder press.
Date: Saturday, January 24th
Time: 12pm-4pm
Instructors: Pilar Nadal and Rachel Kobasa
Cost: $150
Maximum 6 participants
