From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jules Remedios Faye (born 1958) is an American author, editor, letterpress printmaker, bookbinder, teacher, and creator of artists’ books. Faye is known for establishing, with Christopher Stern, Stern & Faye Printers, a letterpress print shop & hand book bindery located in Mt. Vernon, Washington.[1] Faye teaches, curates and participates in book arts exhibits and events throughout the Skagit Valley[2] and Puget Sound area.[3]

Career

[edit]

At age 17, Faye apprenticed to a letterpress job shop in San Francisco. She worked several years in commercial print shops throughout San Francisco and Seattle before founding Stern & Faye Printers with her partner Christopher Stern in 1994.[3] Her initial imprint established in 1990 was Street of Crocodiles Letterpress Printery.[4]

According to John D. Berry, "When they [Stern & Faye] moved out of Seattle in 1994, they settled in the rural Skagit Valley and set up what they referred to as a “printing farm,” with a barn full of working presses and typesetting equipment. Separately and together, they have produced an impressive body of printed work. What’s unique may be their combination of “fine press” sensibility and a freewheeling approach to typography and art."[4]

Faye's archives are held in part at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.[5]
