The Art & Craft of Letterpress
Welcome to Nesja Press! We're passionate about preserving the artistry and craftsmanship of letterpress printing. We pride ourselves in the use of traditional typesetting and relief printing techniques, but also use modern-day methods. We handcraft stationery, invitations, art prints, notebooks and other paper goods. Our antique presses primarily run on human power. Take a look around to see all that we have to offer. Purchase one of our unique creations, sign up for a workshop, or hire us to create something special, we’d be glad to help.
