GRABHORN FELLOWS PROGRAM 2009

The inaugural class of Grabhorn Scholars has been selected by the CBAA. These students will travel to San Francisco to be in residence at the Arion Press August 10-14, 2009. The program is jointly sponsored by the CBAA and the nonprofit Grabhorn Institute. The M&H type foundry, letterpress shop (composing room and pressroom), and bindery operations will be explained in detail as current projects are executed. Presentations on project development, text selection, rights, editing, collaboration, design, typography, and other elements of publication will be made by members of the Press. Selections from the archives of over eighty Arion Press books will be viewed. In addition, visits will be arranged to the Logan Collection of Artist Books at the Legion of Honor, Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, and Special Collections at the San Francisco Public Library.
