West Side Fest: Poster Design Workshop with The Arm

Join Brooklyn-based print shop The Arm for a poster-making workshop that combines letterpress, block printing, and bold design. Participants will experiment with multiple printing techniques using pre-carved imagery, movable type, and vibrant inks to build layered compositions. By combining text, image, color, and pattern, attendees will create their own unique posters while learning about the collaborative and experimental nature of printmaking. No prior experience is required.

This program is part of West Side Fest, a three-day celebration of arts and culture across Manhattan’s historic West Side, organized by the West Side Cultural Network.

The Arm is a Brooklyn-based print studio where traditional tools meet contemporary creativity. Specializing in letterpress, silkscreen, and Risograph printing, The Arm produces and publishes artists’ editions, offers custom print services, and hosts hands-on workshops for individuals and groups.
