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.

SUMMARY:Love List Workshop with Sherry Belul
DESCRIPTION:It’s February and that means you likely need a special gift for the loves in your life. \nWNBA Member Sherry Richert Belul\, author of Say it Now\, has a great gift idea that is simple to make and can stand alone or pair with something you’ve already bought. \nSherry will be leading us in an interactive\, joyful\, and connecting activity of creating Love List Gifts.  \nWhat’s a Love List? It is a brainstorm of specific reasons you love someone and what makes them unique. A Love List is sweet\, funny\, sexy\, or serious. It can include any number — from five to fifteen to fifty — of loving attributes\, characteristics\, or memories about someone. It is one of the most simple —yet profound— ways to show someone what makes them unique and why they matter. \nAll too often\, people wait until funerals to express their love and appreciation. Sherry encourages you to say it now\, while the person can hear it. “I believe that what we all want most in life is to know that we make a difference and that we’re loved for exactly who we are\,” Sherry says. \nSherry will be leading us through the process of creating this one-of-a-kind gift. She’ll offer some prompts as we create our Love Lists. So come to the meeting with some paper and a pen. Or\, you can download Sherry’s free printable and bring that to fill in as we go: https://simplycelebrate.net/love/ \nWe promise that this will be a joyful process for YOU — and will make a wonderful gift for someone you love!

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Searching for Patty Hearst
DESCRIPTION:On the night that Patty Hearst was kidnapped in 1974\, journalist Roger D. Rapoport was a short drive away in his El Cerrito home. He quickly became one of the primary reporters covering the saga as it unfolded in real time. His reporting gave local and national readers a window into one of the most bizarre and polarizing crimes in U.S. history. Now\, fifty years later\, he has written a novel\, Searching for Patty Hearst\, that draws heavily from that time. In this compelling new book\, he explores alternative theories of the crime and delves into the complex psychology of many of the key actors in a drama that kept the country riveted. With a wry sensibility and insider knowledge that Rapoport is one of the few people to possess\, Searching for Patty Hearst goes beyond the tabloid headlines to tell the story in all its depth.

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 **

SUMMARY:Music Engraving in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Our first Letterform Lecture of 2024 explores the challenges facing music notation software today. \n  \nOnce the province of specialists who had undergone a long training\, the widespread availability of music notation software from the 1990s on has given everyone the ability to produce sheet music themselves. \nFor all the benefits\, this has come at a great cost. Not just a few jobs – the dedicated ‘music engraver’ now being now a near-extinct species – but to the state of the art itself. Never well-documented but passed down through the centuries from master to apprentice\, engraving is now the additional task of every student\, arranger and composer\, and any gap in expertise has become the responsibility of the software they use. \nBut worse\, in the move to an all-digital and mostly-automated world\, something else is in danger of being lost: the humanity\, the soul\, the artistry of music on the page. \nThis talk will explore some of the history of music notation and engraving\, the current state of play as well as the challenges facing the developers of notation software today. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Editing With Disability/Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.
