315 W. Torrance BlJoin us on Saturday, August 15, for a special BOOK ARTS GUILD presentation by the International Printing Museum's Executive Director, Mark Barbour, whose presentation "LINDNER’S GOLD: Treasures of the Printing Museum" will highlight some of the most unusual treasures in the collection.
Enjoy the intriguing stories around the hunt for and process of acquisition, as well as what makes them such gems of printing history. From early presses to casting machines, tools and antiquarian books, this will be a peek into printing history that you will not want to miss. And following the talk, guests will have the opportunity to even print on several of these presses, several of which are sole survivors of their type.
The event begins promptly at 3pm, and there will be light refreshments served during the hands-on activities. The festivities will end at about 6pm.
The International Printing Museum is home to the Book Arts Institute, which hosts half-day, full-day, and multi-day workshops in letterpress printing, paper marbling, screen printing, collaging, bookmakings, paper making, and more!
