is a little letterpress studio owned and operated by krista
stout. I
love the slow, deliberate process of creating each
design, mixing inks,
setting up the press, and hand-printing each piece one at a time.
although I never dreamed I'd be one, I come from a few generations of
printers and love thinking of all the hands that have used these old
presses before me.
letterpress is a 500 year old relief printing technique in which a raised, inked image meets paper with enough pressure to produce a print. letterpress offers a tactile and nostalgic feel that cannot be achieved with any other printing technique. when combined with soft papers, letterpress printing conveys a beauty and elegance that leaves a lasting impression. |
