More Metal

Delivered last week - the Challenge proof press. Good for large sheets and big coverage. And very user friendly - we're devising a digital letterpress class to be offered in the next few months. Stay tuned...

Letterpress + Screen Print

New Orleans-inspired: wrought iron, French gardens, humid nights, bees, feathers and deep pink air. The layering textures of gold and pink screen prints with black letterpress.

Happy New Year!
We're working on lots of print projects this year, and we hope to work with you, too...



A sketch of something new.. 09 promises many new things to come. Stay tuned.

The Hottest Holiday

Clearly a year of living in Texas has influenced our latest holiday collection (along with a sibling's very tropical and beautiful wedding thrown into the year as well) as we are embracing the joys of yet. another. hot. season. I manage to pull out my sweater collection around this time, regardless, and I do admit it is brightly colored, so perhaps a colorful christmas, rather than a white one, is a better reflection of our wishes anyway.

May your traditions be bright, your home joyous and your new year peaceful, healthy and happy... and warm!

and p.s.... free shipping on all orders placed through 12/19!

Lovely Summer

We designed and printed this cheerful, summery invite for a bride in Philadelphia. Her wedding was late in August.. you can really feel each bright color deeply impressed into the paper like a late summer sun, hot and sharp, with long, cool shadows here and there.

Printed with a combination of melon orange, tangy green, soft grey and a tint of opaque white.

Letterpress Move

We finally found a new space (out of the garage - hooray!) large enough for our presses and other equipment. We are now located in east Austin on Tillery Street. Be sure to visit us on the East Austin Studio Tour... stay tuned for details.

The move went more smoothly than any previous one - I think working with professionals really makes all the difference. There was none of the usual moments of panic with a press teetering on a lift gate or helpful statements such as "If it starts rolling, jump - fast..."

Thanks to John and Bob for making it happen.
