Welcome to another episode of PrintingCenterUSA Podcast, where we highlight the stories, creativity, and people behind meaningful work in print and beyond.
In this episode, we sit down with Rose Lawson, Marketing and Events Manager at the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving history through hand-carved carousel animals and community-driven programming.
Rose shares how the carousel was built by volunteers over more than a decade, how each animal can take 10 to 20 years to carve and paint, and how the museum continues to serve families, students, and visitors through accessible, inclusive experiences. From carving classes for high schoolers to sensory-friendly mornings and community celebrations, the carousel has become far more than a ride. It’s a living story rooted in craftsmanship and heart.
We also explore how print plays a vital role in sharing their mission, from rack cards and business cards to annual calendars and specialty materials that help keep their story turning year after year.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that thoughtful craftsmanship, physical media, and community connection still matter in a fast-moving digital world.
