SUMMARY:Brenda McManus and Ned Drew: L is for Labor of Love
DESCRIPTION:Two designers share their insights on letterpress collecting and creating \n\n\nJoin Brenda and Ned as they reveal the long process of collecting\, designing\, and printing that resulted in a beautiful\, limited-edition letterpress book\, a true labor of love. \n\n  \nRSVP Here | https://bit.ly/2AqdSQ1 \nAfter their son was born in 2013\, Ned and Brenda began to conceive of a meaningful purpose for the collection of type\, woodblocks\, and line-engraved images that they have been amassing for 20+ years. They decided to create a learning tool\, a unique letterpress book of ABCs that took five years to make. The project combines many facets of their lives: family\, teaching\, letterpress printing\, design\, and collecting. \n\nThe project was born out of their shared passion for design\, a focus on typography\, an engagement with design history\, and an infatuation with letterpress artifacts. Ned and Brenda strongly believe in the preservation of a living history of letterpress\, as there is no greater tool for teaching future generations of typographers about the craft and the value of hands-on work. \nThey also believe that it is essential to intentionally make space for those projects that are labors of love\, projects that integrate play and discovery into the creative process\, on personal terms. The freedom of those experiments is essential for creative growth. \n \n  \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.
