Free talk focuses on ‘Fine Printing in Aptos’

Felicia Rice and friends will present a talk titled “Fine Printing in Aptos: Sherwood & Katharine Carruth Grover and their Grace Hoper Press” from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Aptos Library, 7695 Soquel Drive, Aptos.

Admission is free. The event is sponsored by the Aptos History Museum.

After 25 years working at San Francisco’s Grabhorn Press, Sherwood and Trina Grover retired to Aptos in the early 1960s and continued to produce fine printing in the studio of their Seacliff beach residence. Here, with equipment from the Grabhorn press, the Grovers operated old-style printing presses and set type by hand to manufacture books under their Grace Hoper imprint to the 1980s.

Attendees to this talk will learn more about the Grace Hoper Press from Felicia Rice, proprietor of Mendocino’s Moving Parts Press, who will talk about her early association in Santa Cruz with the Grovers and their Grace Hoper Press.
