He is Professor of Art and Master Printmaker at Wake Forest University, and has been head of printmaking since 1984 when he expanded the program to include intaglio and relief to the already established lithography program. Faber teaches introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses in intaglio, lithography, relief, and mixed methods. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in drawing and printmaking from Northern Illinois University, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking and painting from Southern Illinois University where he was a Teaching Intern and a Graduate Fellow.
