WELCOME TO
KIRKCUDBRIGHT LETTERPRESS STUDIO

Letterpress · Papermaking · Typography · Calligraphy · Fine Art · Woodcut · Drawing · Workshops

A historical printing room and producer of words.

Here words are hand crafted from carefully selected vintage letters.

These letters have been around for decades, some of them over a century.

They have come here to be lovingly restored and assembled into
sentences, statements, quotes, declarations, poems and stories.

Once assembled they are coated with ink and pressed onto paper
to bring them into the physical world for others to enjoy.
