Please join us at the International Printing Museum in Carson, starting at 11 am for activities and events in honor of the mighty tree. Our day begins with a screening of Typeface, the story of the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. An early cut of the film was shown a couple of years ago at the APHA conference in New York, but it has been edited and some scenes have been added, so if you were at that conference, you haven’t seen this film at all. After the screening, you’ll have a chance to do your own printing of wood type which will be set up on a variety of the IPM’s presses and view the exhibition curated by the museum’s own experts. The day concludes at 2 pm, with a lecture by David Shields, the curator of the Rob Roy Kelly Wood Type Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. A reception will follow. Details: $5 (IPM and APHA members); $10 non-members The International Printing Museum is located at Please RSVP to Jane Carpenter by August 12th. Friday–Sunday, October 15–16, 2010 APHA’s 35th Annual Conference, “Learning to Print, Teaching to Print,” meets in Washington, DC, October 15th–16th, 2010, at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. |
