KRISTIN JOINER; owner, designer, and printer
CINCINNATI, OH
I first encountered letterpress at college in Wisconsin, while earning my BFA in graphic design. I loved design, but missed the tactile quality and unpredictability of materials from my fine art classes—and all of a sudden here was a medium that was the perfect marriage of the two.
A year after graduation, I found an old, neglected press on Craigslist, bought it, spent a summer cleaning and repairing her. Since 2008, I've grown from a small Etsy shop, to a Cincinnati brick-and-mortar studio where I specialize in wedding invitations and stationery.
