SUMMARY:TDC Letter Walk with Paul Shaw: Two Bronx Neighborhoods – Tremont and Belmont
DESCRIPTION:The Legacy of Letters / TDC lettering walk returns to the Bronx this spring to investigate Tremont and Belmont\, two contiguous neighborhoods in the middle of The Bronx. Tremont abuts Fordham University to the west and Belmont abuts Fordham to the south. These two neighborhoods are full of the usual lettering delights: public schools\, convents and churches\, graffiti\, candy stores\, movie theaters\, dry cleaners\, and funeral homes.  \nBelmont is known as the "Little Italy" of The Bronx. The stores on Arthur Avenue are famous enough to compel Manhattanites to make treks there to buy mozzarella\, cannoli\, cheesecake\, and other Italian specialities. We will end our walking tour with a meal in Little Italy.  \nPaul Shaw has conducted regular walking tours of lettering in New York City since 2005 for the Type Directors Club and other organizations. He has also led similar tours of Boston\, Buffalo\, and Atlanta for SoTA (the Society of Typographic Aficionados). \nPaul is the author of Helvetica and the New York City Subway System\, which has been republished by The MIT Press this year. He has been a calligrapher for over 40 years and has designed 18 typefaces. He is the principal of Paul Shaw / Letter Design\, and teaches calligraphy at Parsons School of Design and the history of typography at the School of Visual Arts. \nNote:\nThis tour does not meet at Type Directors Club. Registered tour participants will be informed of the exact meeting place prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Brenda McManus and Ned Drew: L is for Labor of Love
DESCRIPTION:After 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. \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 \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Tickets to the TDC Virtual Salons are free to members only. Non-members are asked for a suggested donation of ten dollars to help fund our free recordings of events and to grow typographic awareness.

After several years of planning and construction\, Poster House opened its doors on June 20\, 2019. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.
