Zoom Lecture . . .

 

Learning by the Lake with Rob LoMascolo is coming up in two weeks! Join Robert '09 to hear about his personal adventures in the Book Arts. From hunting down forgotten antique printing presses, to moving thousands of pounds of rusting cast iron, there is far more to printing than putting ink on paper. Robert will share some of his more interesting projects and stories with lots of photos.

His clients have included The Frick Collection, Princeton University, Suntup Editions, The Boston Medical Library, and the Bodleian to name a few.
