SUMMARY:Gibson Library Society Annual Outing: A Visit to the St Bride Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Just off Fleet Street\, in what was the heart of the British national press is the St Bride Foundation. It was set up in 1891 as an institution to support the people and printers of Fleet Street\, providing both education and recreation. It had a school of printing to educate printers in the newest technologies and an extensive library\, as well as more practical facilities such as a swimming pool (the first in the City of London)\, a gymnasium and washrooms for laundry. \nOn our two-hour tour we will visit the printing workshop\, the library and its other historic rooms. In the workshop we will be shown different printing techniques and the lengthy process of preparing a newspaper (before computerisation) for print. We will get a chance to view some treasures in the library’s special collection. The Foundation’s library\, originally created as a resource for printers\, today contains over 50\,000 items\, many of which are manuscripts including a substantial fragment of one of William Caxton’s earliest printed works. \nThe group size was limited to just 24 persons\, so please book early. \nClick here for the form\, which should printed off and returned to the Library.

SUMMARY:Arts and Crafts Movement printing\, An illustrated talk by Perry Staker\, in Saffron Walden Library
DESCRIPTION:Perry has a long-standing interest in food history and social history\, and many members will recall her excellent talk about Twelfth Night. In 2018 she was invited to take on the role of the Victorian Cook in the BBC2 series ‘The Victorian House of Arts and Crafts’ shown in January 2019. This led to a developing interest in the Arts and Crafts Movement\, which has has more recently turned towards the influence of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement on printing. \nPerry is a lecturer and historian who lives in Thaxted. \nThis lecture coincided with an exhibition in the Library on Arts and Crafts printing\, which was strongly influenced by William Morris and Walter Crane. The exhibits featured books from the Library’s own collection\, including some that are available for loan after the exhibition finishes. The exhibition is open to the public between Saturday 13th September and Wednesday 1st October\, during Library opening times.
