Rocky Stinehour is internationally recognized as a renowned printer and designer of books. His half-century career has spanned an era of radical change in the technology of printing, as well as unprecedented change in the way books are conceived and distributed. In , after study with Ray Nash and graduation from Dartmouth College, Stinehour established e Stinehour Press with his wife and brother in the village of Lunenburg, Vermont. is location, on a farm in the remote Northeast Kingdom, was an unlikely site for such an endeavor to take root and flourish. Yet from its modest beginnings, with persistence, idealistic vision, and the ability to attract a skilled group of associates, the Press has grown in competence and influence, becoming one of the country’s premier printing establishments. e Stinehour Press published the journal Printing and Graphic Arts and founded Dartmouth College’s annual Book Arts Workshop. A scholarprinter in the finest humanistic tradition, Stinehour has been honored by nearly every tribute granted in the book arts, including the Frederic W. Goudy Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, and APHA’s Laureate Award. In  he received an honorary degree from Dartmouth College.

In this presentation Roderick Stinehour will discuss his work and ideas with noted designer, calligrapher, and printer Jerry Kelly, who served as designer/vicepresident of e Stinehour Press from  to . Himself the recipient of many awards from (among others) the Type Directors Club, AIGA, and the Society of Typographic Designers, Kelly has published widely on typography and calligraphy. e event will take place on Tuesday,  November beginning at : PM at Wellesley College, Clapp Library Lecture Room, st floor.
