This is an in-person workshop. As of January 2023, masks are strongly encouraged but not required, unless otherwise indicated. 

This introductory class leads students through the process of creating their own unique valentines (or non-love-related cards, if preferred).

Participants will learn the basics of composing type by setting a text-based note or simple image using SFCB’s vast collection of lead type and decorative ornaments, then use the cylinder proof presses to print their design. Each student will leave with a lovely stack of printed cards and envelopes. 

A perfect class to take on your own or with a “friend."
 

>> Prerequisite: None << 

Materials to Bring: None. All tools and materials will be provided.

NOTE: Please read over the SFCB Registration Policies before signing up for a class. Registration will close three days prior to the start date of the workshop to allow the instructor time to prep materials for class. 
 

About the Instructor | Paula Gloistein (she/her)

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:

“Lots of hands-on work with the perfect amount of oversight/supervision from Paula”

“She really was terrific. I was impressed with how direct and clear she was and how well she managed class time.”

“Paula is a fantastic teacher and really easy to get along with and ask questions too. So many concepts that hadn't quite clicked for me yet really started coming together once she started teaching me."
