Case-Bound Bookbinding Workshop
Fred was a multi-talented and creative artist. Visitors to the Ink Shop gravitate immediately to his work. Consistently brilliant and beautiful, Fred’s imagery is a digital form of impressionism that is both reflective and delightful.
Fred has been a wonderful friend who has stepped up to help out in many ways. Helping annually with the Ithaca Artists Market with his humor and helping hands.

He and his wife Taf have been the most incredible supporters of the Ink Shop for which we are forever grateful.
We’ve lost a good friend and a beautiful light.
