I can't wait to share my love of letterpress printing with you....it's such a fun way to create beautiful prints, from greeting cards, to wedding invitations, business cards, artwork and more.
My love for printing and design started in my Dad's little print shop back in Brazil, in the early 90's. He used beautiful old letterpress machines and I have such happy memories of playing around him while he was working. I still remember the smell of the paper, inks and the sounds of the machines in action.
I’m so excited to keep this old profession alive and pass forward the knowledge through printing workshops using and preserving these vintage machines.
