Please join us at the Clark Library on October 22nd for a talk by Jennifer Bastian, who has been working on the Eric Gill Visual Archives Project, made possible by a generous grant from the DELMAS Foundation.  She will present images of the newly documented collection and discuss the process involved, as well as have Gill works on display.

Eric Gill (1882-1940) was a British typefaces designer, sculptor, stonemason and printmaker, active during the an Arts and Crafts era. His sculptural works can be seen as carved figures of Peace in The League of Nations building in Geneva, figures from Shakespeare on the BBC’s Broadcasting House in London, and many more.  Gill’s work with lettering can be found on your own computer, in the form of Gill Sans, his most popular typeface.

Talk begins in the drawing room at 3:00pm. Refreshments to follow.

Please RSVP via Doodle
