paperedtogether's Profile

Bio

hello!

paperedtogether is a minneapolis letterpress shop. I love the slow, mindful art of creating each design, mixing inks, preparing the press, and hand-printing each card one at a time. my designs are inspired by timeless, simple vintage images & enlivened by modern colors.

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 printmaking papers, letterpress printing conveys a beauty and elegance that leaves a lasting impression.
