Join us for an exclusive, hands-on workshop led by Vicky, founder of Mean Mail. This immersive experience invites you to explore a luxury printing technique that transforms ordinary materials into striking, eye-catching creations.

What You'll Learn

During this workshop, you'll dive into the world of hot foiling—a printing method that combines heat, pressure, and precision timing to transfer delicate metallic foil onto various surfaces.

The workshop will cover: 

• Foils —their production, varieties, and applications
• Hot foil vs. cold foil techniques—understanding the unique advantages of each
• Artwork preparation for plate creation
• Safe and effective operation of a professional hot foil press
• Mastering the perfect impression through the balance of pressure, dwell time, and temperature

All materials and professional tools are provided for your use during the workshop. You'll leave with a collection of at least 12 greeting cards that you’ll have printed yourself, with the opporunity to print more if time permits.
