Welcome to the D*S Letterpress Guide
Welcome- what you'll find here is a working guide to some of the best letterpress studios in the country (as well as a few abroad). The guide is meant to be searched by the following categories: State, City, E-commerce Enabled, Custom Work and Pre-Made work. You're more than welcome to read down the center column as you would with a blog but the list is much more useful when organized by search results. Just use the drop down menu to your left to find who you're looking for. For example, if you need custom wedding invitations try looking in your hometown for a studio you can meet with to design your cards in person. The list will be updated constantly so feel free to send suggestions and keep coming back as the list grows. There's also a brief history of letterpress to the left. Enjoy!
