Bio |
Hi,I’m an Associate Professor and Design Specialization Rep in the Visual Art & Design Department of Salt Lake Community College. I was an art director for 25+ years before teaching. So I have some knowledge of printing. My husband was a printer for 17 years, a print estimator for 10 years and also teaches adjunct at SLCC in InDesign and Printing Fundamentals. We are followers of the Book Arts Program at the University of Utah and love all things concerning typography, paper and traditional printing. I’m particularly excited to see a reawakening of letterpress printing and the interest in typography. I try to instill those interests in my students and encourage them to work with their minds/hands BEFORE the computer. After years of struggling with that, I’m thrilled to see students taking more interest in preliminary work and the beauty of a finished product on the right paper using quality printing. My husband uses an AB Dick in his class but we have a 5×8 Kelsey at home. We always include letterpress in any printing tours for our classes.Thanks,Kerry GonzalesAssociate Professor, Design Specialization RepAD 340 / Mail Stop GD4600 South Redwood RoadSalt Lake City, UT 84130801-957-4038
