CCC Presents!
Carl Rohrs:
”Behind the Scenes at the Speedball Textbook 25th Edition”

To kick off our new CCC Presents free lecture series for our members, we were more than fortunate to have Carl Rohrs join us to give us a peak into the creation of the 25th edition of the iconic Speedball Textbook, a little history in- and outside of its tiny but mighty 105-year-old pages, and a more complete look at the work of artists who contributed to this and previous versions, along with a few detours through related tangents. 

Carl was the 25th’s designer and co-editor (along with Suzanne Cunningham & Sachin Shah), has taught for the CCC and has worked as a freelance lettering artist & sign painter in Santa Cruz since 1977, teacher at Cabrillo College since ’84, a traveling calligraphy instructor almost as long and is currently in his sixth year as editor of Alphabet, the Journal of the Friends of Calligraphy. This will be an evening you won't want to miss
