| February 10, 2012 | SALON: Designer and Chief Curator Matthew Bird on the pioneers of Industrial Design and their philatelic afterlife.
Bird teaches the History of Industrial Design at RISD, has been a practicing designer since graduating from RISD in 1989, and curates the collections at his store, The Curatorium. He will discuss the US Postal Service’s 2011 introduction of a sheet of stamps celebrating Industrial Design and 13 pioneering designers. He’ll show how the USPS’s strange choices left out some of the profession’s true pioneers, and represented others with work that doesn’t show them at their finest. By revisiting the objects and designers that were selected, Bird will introduce the important aspects of Industrial Design and discuss its history and role in forming the world we inhabit.

| February 25, 2012 | The John Russell Bartlett Society presents bookbinder Sam Ellenport on “A Bookbinding Anamoly: Linked-spine Bindings.”
Ellenport has been the proprietor of Harcourt Bindery in Boston for the past 40 years. It is the last large book bindery in America still working in a 19th century tradition, on a par with Bayntun’s in Bath, England. Through spectacular images, he will uncover a rare aspect in bookbinding: the use of the spines of books as a canvas on which binders create designs that span several volumes.
