About
The Press of Robert LoMascolo was established in 2005 by Robert LoMascolo while studying the book arts at Wells College in Aurora, New York. Robert majored in fine art and minored in the book arts. He graduated cum laude winning prizes for art, book arts and book collecting. In 2011 Robert completed his MFA in the book arts at The University of Alabama. While at Alabama he was also recognized for his outstanding collection of works by the influential book designer, Bruce Rogers. Currently, Robert is working full time printing, designing, and binding for a varied array of clients.
Robert served as a Lecturer in the Book Arts from 2017 to 2024 where he taught undergraduate courses at Wells College and coordinated two of the college's well known Book Arts Summer Institutes. He has served on the board of The Frontenac Museum and the Aurora Ledyard Historical Society. He is a contributing member of ATF (American Typecasting Fellowship), and the FPBA (The Fine Press Book Association).
He may also be found casting type at The Press & Letterfoundry of Michael & Winifred Bixler, restoring an antique printing press, or maybe enjoying a good book.
