About HelenEdna

Sales 198
On Etsy since 2018
  • I work with a Golding Improved Pearl No. 11 that’s from the early 1900’s. It’s fun to use!
  • I use a soy and linseed oil base inks from Austin, Texas.
  • I hand feed each piece of Crane Lettra paper (100 percent cotton) into the platten press.
  • The rollers transfer ink from the ink disc onto the polymer plate.
  • Here is the card after it has received the second ink color from the polymer plate.

My Story

Helen Edna is letterpress stationery studio that I started in the summer of 2018 in Dana Point, California. My designs are joyful, organic, and finely hand drawn with vibrant colors.

Helen Edna is named after my grandma who had a passion for craft and had a cheerful demeanor.

I worked as an architect for several years after studying it in college and realized that I really missed working with my hands.

I took printing lessons at the International Printing Museum in Carson and loved the process of printing my hand-drawn designs into cards. Shortly thereafter, I bought a Golding Pearl platen press and made a leap to start Helen Edna!

Thank you for your interest in my company!

Best,
Lauren
