Fusing vintage printing presses with modern technology, Bellis Studios is keeping the beautiful tactile qualities and nostalgic feel of letterpress alive. Inked raised type is impressed directly into thick 100% cotton paper, the result is an impression that you can see and feel. The Bellis Studio line features custom artwork on a variety of products including stationery, holiday cards, wedding invitations and announcements and baby announcements coming soon.
Looking for an alternative way to print smaller quantities of my own designs, I stumbled onto letterpress. Immediately, I was hooked. Two years of research and a few classes at Columbia College later, I purchased my Vandercook No. 3 press on Ebay. It's been a wonderful journey on which I continue to learn and explore. I adore letterpress and hope once you experience it, you will too.
