About Jeff Pulaski
A life-long Kansan, Jeff Pulaski earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design degree from Wichita State University in 1990 and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Communication from Kansas State University in 2008. Before joining Wichita State in 2000, he worked for The Wichita Eagle, Pioneer Balloon Company and was self-employed as a freelance designer working for various businesses in the Wichita area.

His work has been shown at various universities and museums in the U.S., Ireland and England and he has traveled around the world giving talks and delivering workshops to artists and designers interested in the way this hands-on approach to design can influence their current work and practice. His letterpress collection has grown to weigh in at over 12 tons. It includes various platen and cylinder presses, a Prouty Power Press newspaper press, a Model 31 Linotype, two Ludlow casters and large assortment of metal and wooden type.
Jeff was part of a three person letterpress exhibition at the National Print Museum in 2013 and delivered letterpress workshops with us as part of the 'Face Forward' conference in 2015 and the 'From craft to technology and back again' conference in 2017.
