Instructor
Bettina Pauly studied in the Book Arts and Letterpress program at the Academy of Art University San Francisco. In 2011 she started teaching book arts and letterpress classes at the San Francisco Center for the Book.
She loves books and boxes both as physical objects and as containers of meaning. She is interested in a variety of folded, sewn and woven structures in which she can incorporate her printing. Her work is presented in national and international collections. Bettina just moved to Sebastopol and is excited to work in her own studio space as well as starting to teach classes in the North Bay.
