Levi’s Print Workshop

Time to work!

Just to further prove that interest in the art of print is alive and kicking, Levi’s opened the doors this week to their new Valencia Street printing workshop in San Francisco. Slated to operate for eight weeks in the temporary (but beautifully set-up) 3,000 square foot storefront, it offers hands-on training in letterpress and silkscreen printing, as well as many print and literary oriented events. The first of what hopefully will be many workshops, Levi’s is focusing on craft and craftspeople, as well as bringing together community through the act of creating.

Everybody's work is equally important

The workshop is a physical embodiment of their slogan, “everybody’s work is equally important,” and a place to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

It’s summertime. The perfect time to get your hands inky! And attend social gatherings (with those inky hands)! Scheduled events include the likes of Shephard Fairey, Dave Eggars, Porchlight, and Alice Waters. More details can be found on the Levi’s Workshop site.
