ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hello! I am Stella Kruschke. I’ve been working with letterpress for the past three years and have been printing professionally with Max Koch for the past year. I was introduced to the craft when I was studying graphic design at St. Edward’s University. When I print I am a believer in thick paper and a deep beautiful impression!
