SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design
DESCRIPTION:with Kel Troughton \n  \nDuring this 10-week online workshop\, which meets on Wednesday evenings from January 31–April 10 (no class on February 21)\, you will create your own original typefaces as you gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show you how to systematically think about type and help you successfully make a font. We will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, introducing you to the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work. You will work in the Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each meeting for review. Throughout the workshop you will learn various lessons about type\, history\, sketching\, and get weekly feedback on your type projects. \nThis workshop is suitable for designers just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to hone their skills and processes. Some experience with drawing Bézier curves (in Adobe Illustrator\, for instance) and with typography is recommended but not required. This is a great course for anyone interested in applying for a spot in Type West’s Postgraduate Certificate Program in Type Design. \nA free temporary license for Glyphs App will be made available to all participants. The class is capped at fifteen students to allow for one-on-one instruction.

This process helps you gain clarity on your goals\, values\, and what makes you or your offering unique. \nYou may not be ready to make a formal pitch to agents and publishers\, but you should always be ready to talk about your book with clarity and confidence. You never know who you will meet. The time to practice your pitch is before you find yourself sitting on the plane next to a publisher. This special two-part event will get you ready! \nSession A: Create Your Elevator Pitch. Thurs\, Feb 8\, 6 – 7:30 pm. Pitch-O-Rama and veteran publisher Brenda Knight will coach us through the basics of a great elevator pitch: what do publishers and agents need to hear? What will turn them off\, and what will pull them in?\nRSVP here: https://millvalleylibrary.libcal.com/event/11602407 \nSession B: Now\, Practice It! Thurs\, Feb 15\, 6 – 7:30 pm. Stand up before a friendly\, informal audience and deliver your 3-minute pitch. If you wish\, the audience can provide feedback. CWC Marin President Daniel Bacon will moderate.\nRSVP here: https://millvalleylibrary.libcal.com/event/11602408 \n About the Coach \nBrenda Knight is a twenty-year publishing veteran\, starting at HarperCollins.  She authored American Book Award-winning Women of the Beat Generation\, Rituals for Life and Wild Women and Books. She is Past President of the Women’s National Book Association\, which hosts the annual Pitch-O-Rama. Knight has worked with many bestselling authors including Mark Nepo\, Phil Cousineau\, Congresswoman Jackie Speier\, and Paolo Coehlo.

SUMMARY:The Life\, Motto\, and Library of William Walker (1570-1642)\, Vicar of Chiswick
DESCRIPTION:Approximately twenty-five printed books and ten manuscripts have been located from before 1640 which bear the florid inscription: “Will and Walke aright. Will: Walker\,” usually appearing on the title-page of a printed book\, or on the first or last leaf of a manuscript. \nThis talk will attempt to identify the author of the inscription and the owner of the books and manuscripts in new detail; to reconstruct William Walker’s small but unquestionably significant personal library; and to trace the history of the “best” manuscript of Sir Philip Sidney’s “Old Arcadia.” \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Alan H. Nelson\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of English\, University of California\, Berkeley \n** Co-presented and co-hosted by The American Trust for the British Library and The Bibliographical Society of America **
