Type Talk Inquiry

Whether you are interested in a letterpress talk to broaden your students’ perspective of design and design history, a continuing education experience for your employees, a design workshop for your community arts center, or something else I’d love to chat more about speaking to your group!

SUGGESTED HONORARIUMS

1 Hour Presentation Talk/Workshop (in-person or virtual)
Academic $250 / Other $325

Half Day (3 Hours)
Academic $600 / Other $725

Full Day of Presentations and Workshops
Academic $825 / Other $,1000

(If my visit requires an overnight stay, there is a minimum requirement of the Half Day fee and presumably 3 hours of presentations or other involvement in order to compensate for lost studio time. In other words, I can’t afford to spend 2-3 days on the road and at your location for only a 1 hour talk at $250. If this might be your situation, please let me know and we can work together to create a full, rich experience for your students or audience.)
