Conference Identity by David Pearson |
Talking to Printweek, event curator Becky Chilcott said the pandemic had resulted in “a greater need to bring our fantastic community together more often and inspire and engage with them and their creativity”, and it was the perfect time to revive the event.
“Not only will the conference keep the St Bride Foundation alive in people’s creative imaginations, it will also raise vital funds to help the upkeep of our Grade II listed Victorian building, management and conservation of our unique and irreplaceable library collections and running of our print workshop and learning programme.”
The St Bride Foundation said the event would be “a conversazione celebrating innovation, inspiration, imagination and invention”.
The speaker line-up includes: Naïma Ben Ayed, Neville Brody, Jean Julien, Naomi Kent, Alicia Martin, Bob Richardson, Venessa and Vanice Scott, and Dominic Wilcox.
Attendees will also be able to find out more about some of the treasures and notable items in the St Bride Library collection, and will have a chance to try letterpress printing using the historic presses in the St Bride printing workshop
Fenner Paper is pleased to be one of the principal sponsors along with Commercial Type and the Fleet Street Quarter together with Google and the Wynkyn de Worde Society Charitable Trust.
