Fellow IAP members,
I am very sad to let you know that fellow IAP member Bruce Robbins passed away Tuesday night (December 28th). Many of you either know Bruce personally or know of his work. He was an extremely talented pen maker with exceptional creativity, technical savvy, and artistic ability. Bruce was intimately involved in the penmaking community and played a key role in MAPG and other activities. His shop and home were always open to those who wanted to stop by and chat or try new tools or creations. Bruce introduced me to pen turning many years ago when we worked closely together at Reynolds Packaging. He was always full of new ideas for making pens and we would discuss the tools and materials required for some of his creations. It always amazed me that he was able to actually turn his thoughts into functional art.
May he rest peacefully
