The Shanghai Press and Publication Administration holds an annual forum called The Most Beautiful Books in China. Charles Brock was invited to deliver one lecture to an audience of book designers and publishers and sit on an international assessment panel to help judge their annual competition called The Beauty of Books in China. Charles spent time in Shanghai visiting various designs firms and interacting with many of China’s most respected designers.

Our very own Torrey Sharp was invited to deliver two lectures to an audience of book designers and publishers in Shanghai, China. Torrey then spent two days in Beijing, a large part of which was spent with designer Lu Min from Jingren Art and Design Studio.
