It's that time of year when we think about special tokens for our hard working teachers. Here at Starshaped we're partial to Montessori because it's old school...like us! This print features the simplest concept behind early Montessori education, represented through the familiar images of Pink Tower and Broad Stairs. It measures 8x12" and is printed on, you guessed it, Italian cover weight paper. Printed entirely with wood and metal type from our collection. Ships flat in a clear sleeve.

Starshaped Press is an old school letterpress shop, meaning that we focus on the craft of good design and great typography. We work strictly with antique wood and metal typefaces for printing, as well as hand carved linoleum cuts, meaning that there is NOT a heavy deboss in the paper, like modern letterpress work. Instead, we endeavor to showcase all of the flaws, inconsistencies and inherent charm of materials that printed for 50 to 100 years before we came along, and, if we do our job correctly, will continue to print when we're long gone.
