YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Lauren Emeritz loves letters but not spelling. When she found out graphic design existed she signed right up! After loving that for a while, she wanted to get off the computer and get her hands dirty. Letterpress combines all her favorite things: type (especially wood type), paper, ink, creativity / problem-solving and making things by hand. You can find her on the interweb at abstractorange.com.
“Lauren is always so patient and positive. It was so fun that 3 very different books were made.”
