Listed below are supplies we use on a day-to-day basis in our shop.

Please note, links provided are to Amazon* for the convenience of finding product details all in one place. I am a believer in shopping small and locally-owned, but we’ve linked Amazon products below. Your local craft or hardware store may have some of these items (Michaels, JoAnns, Blicks, Lowes, etc) while others need to be purchased from a letterpress-specific company.
