About the Instructor | Lars Kim

Lars Kim is a designer and letterpress printer living in San Francisco. After several years in architecture and new media, she unexpectedly stumbled upon a Heidelberg Windmill and rediscovered the tactile beauty of letterpress. Since then, she has deepened her passion for typography as well as the technical aspects of print and bookbinding, working on a wide range of commercial and private projects. She happily continues to sling pixels and ink at Logos Graphics and her freelance practice, Solsken Design. 


Past Student Reviews:

 "Lars was so knowledgable and easy to understand. She very calmly and at a good steady pace explained different ways to digitize type and images for polymer. She was very clear in her steps and never went too fast. She also explained some helpful concepts that made me understand how to prepare my files to make my printing easier."
