GETTING STARTED
General Questions
Common questions about our studio, our products, and what makes our handcrafted paper goods special.
What types of stationery do you create?
We handcraft letterpress greeting cards, flat-printed invitations, custom notebooks, and artisanal paper goods — all designed and pressed in our studio using traditional techniques and high-quality cotton paper.
Where is your studio located?
Our studio is in the Meadowlark district. We welcome visitors during open studio hours — see our Visit page for directions and current hours.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
Yes. Every order arrives wrapped in eco-friendly kraft paper with linen twine. A handwritten gift message can be added at checkout at no extra charge.
Are your materials eco-friendly?
We use tree-free cotton paper, soy-based inks, and recyclable packaging whenever possible. Sustainability is central to our craft and our studio practices.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes, we partner with select boutiques and stationery shops. Please contact us through our Contact page with your store details and we will send our wholesale catalog.
Can I commission a one-of-a-kind piece?
Absolutely. We love custom commissions — from bespoke wedding suites to personalized journals. See the Custom Orders section below or reach out through the Contact page.

BESPOKE SERVICE
Custom Orders & Personalization
Learn about our bespoke stationery services, from monogramming to fully custom wedding suites.
What custom services do you offer?
We offer custom wedding invitations, personalized stationery, monogrammed cards, branded business suites, and one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces. Every project begins with a design consultation.
How do I start a custom order?
Visit our Contact page and share your vision — occasion, style preferences, quantity, and timeline. We will schedule a consultation and provide a detailed quote within 3 business days.
What is the minimum order for custom work?
Custom letterpress orders start at 25 pieces. For personalized flat-printed items, the minimum is 10. No minimum applies to custom journal or notebook commissions.
Can I see a proof before printing?
Yes, always. We provide a digital proof for your approval before any printing begins. For letterpress orders, we can also create a physical press proof for a small fee.
Do you offer foil stamping or edge painting?
Yes. We offer gold, silver, and copper foil stamping, as well as hand-painted edges in a range of colors. These finishes add an elegant touch to invitations and cards.
How far in advance should I order wedding invitations?
We recommend beginning the design process 4–6 months before your wedding date. Final invitations should be ordered at least 8 weeks before you plan to mail them to guests.

What classes do you offer?
We offer introductory letterpress, card-making, bookbinding, and seasonal paper-craft workshops. Class sizes are kept small — typically 6 to 8 students — for plenty of individual attention.
Do I need any experience to attend?
No experience is needed for our introductory classes. We provide all tools, materials, and step-by-step instruction. Just bring your creativity and willingness to learn.
