Waltham animator Macy Lawrence will discuss the research, design, and animation process, and the event will include a screening of the short films.

Macy Lawrence is an animator based in Waltham, Massachusetts. She is currently an Art Director for Cengage/National Geographic Learning. In 2024 she will complete a master’s degree in Digital Media Studies from Harvard University's Extension School.

Macy Lawrence's multi-part learning series highlights the significance of the development of the Waltham-Lowell system of manufacturing and labor pioneered in Waltham, Massachusetts at the Boston Manufacturing Company (now the home of the Charles River Museum) and perfected at the mills at Lowell, MA.
