Developed as an extension of the highly successful “Travels in Typography” class offered by the University of Minnesota’s Design Institute, join instructor and printing historian, Bill Moran of Blinc Publishing for a tour of some of the finest typographic treasures the European continent has to offer. Each stop on our trip will provide the opportunity to research, set type and print in Madrid, Mainz and Venice. In addition, we’ll examine the art, architecture and politics that fostered the growth of printing in the Renaissance.
