Rare Book School Course: History of Women Printers

Posted on August 28, 2017August 27, 2017 by BookLifeStudio

Two weeks ago I took my annual California Rare Book School course up at UC Berkeley. I’m slowly working towards a Professional Certificate in Rare Books and Manuscripts. This year’s course was entitled "Printing at the Margins: The History of Women Printers" and taught by Kathleen Walkup, a Master Printer and Professor at the Mills College Book Art Program.

First Trip to the Huntington Library
