Visiting children show off their name cards

The Museum of Printing hosts tours, lectures, and workshops for students of all ages. One recent group was the most fun. On the North Shore of Massa­chusetts there is a loose organization of parents who home school their children. They visit cultural or other venues as a group. The Museum set up a program to tell the story of print at a child’s level. Each child set type, inked it, and printed their name on a table-top showcard press. One of the older kids served as the printer’s devil. A great time was held by all, including the instructor.
