Katherine Ruffin: Impractical Lessons from Letterpress

  • Boston, MA United States (map)

Annual Members Meeting

This special lecture for members is based on Katherine’s forthcoming book Imprint: Impractical Essays about Letterpress Printing, to be published by The Legacy Press in 2026. These essays, organized according to traditional steps in letterpress printing, map the territory between the literatures of printing history and craft to explore the lessons letterpress can offer us today. Join us and consider the imprint upon a life that is possible when a composing stick is picked up and a press is operated as Katherine makes a compelling case for the continuation of the tradition.
