Crown Point Press

Emily York earned a B.A. in art with an emphasis in printmaking from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1999. While on a school field trip she visited Crown Point’s 35-year retrospective at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, and instantly knew she wanted to be a printer. In 2000 Emily began training as a printer at what is now Paulson Fontaine Press, a fine art etching press in Berkeley founded by Pam Paulson, a Crown Point Master Printer. In 2004 she began working at Crown Point Press and received the master printer title in 2005. She is the author of Magical Secrets about Aquatint , one of four volumes in Crown Point’s popular instructional series.

Emily grew up in St. Helena, in California’s Napa Valley. She lives in Oakland with her daughter.
