Letterpress & Design Studio
Bursting at the seams with intricate old printing presses, at first glance our studio might look more like a museum than a working studio. But it doesn’t feel like a museum – it’s a get-your-hands dirty, have-a-good-laugh kind of place, thanks to our passionate team of makers and a very charming toddler (the real boss around here).
Porchlight Press is so named because it evokes an inviting place where anyone and everyone is welcome, at any time: the light is always on. That vibe inspired our new East Van studio, which includes a little retail storefront where you can pick up some cards for your people – or some treats for yourself.
