About the Instructor | Paula Gloistein

Paula Gloistein has an MA in Humanities from Dominican College which really has very little to do with her work as a photographer, designer, and letterpress printer. After more than ten years in the wedding biz, she recently opened a small shop, big day design lounge, that showcases handmade wedding accessories, custom invitations, and workshops for crafty couples.


Past Student Reviews:

 “I appreciated her individual attention and support as well as the support of all of the students--it was a good vibe and it encouraged me to come back.”

“I really enjoyed this class! I loved the handcraft that goes into typesetting and printing. I use Adobe programs somewhat often and digital graphic design just isn't the same as letterpress.”

“She was really helpful, especially when I ran into some problems with the printing press.”
