Directory Updates 1/23
Hi Everyone!
I’ve completed cleaning out the directory. All dead links have been removed along with:
- Sites that are no longer letterpress-related
- Sites that have just been placeholders (”XYZ Company coming soon!”) for a long time with no actual product or studio info
- Sites that have snuck in under letterpress but who actually do not offer letterpress stationery
The good news is that there are 11 new additions today! Viva la letterpress.
- Dolce Press
- Erika Ebert Press
- Farfalla
- The Hand Work Press
- Paper Stories
- Poppy Letterpress
- Sweet Beets
- Twenty3rd Street
- Watermarx (Australia)
Etsy:
- Pineapple Press Etsy
- Sweet Beets Etsy

Site Status January 19
I’ve received several submissions to the directory in the last few weeks. Please know that I’ll be working on updates this weekend and early next week. If you’ve recently submitted a site, design, or news item sit tight. I’m working my way through the backlog as quickly as I can. Thanks for your patience!

And speaking of classes… list yours!
If you teach letterpress or know of local LP classes, please feel free to send the info my way. I’ll include class info in a special resources page on ILL since there seems to be a growing interest and I don’t know what’s happening beyond the SF Bay Area.
Thanks!
