Studio Tours

FOILS + DIES/Vintage Pressworks regularly opens its doors for designers and design students. Come and experience a letterpress shop like you have never seen. From tons of wood type and old caps and cuts to restored presses from the 1800's, F+D/VPW provides inspiration for every designer. If you haven't stopped in recently, we have remodeled our entire front office Like every remodel, we're not quite done yet, but the transformation is unbelieveable. Please call for an appointment.

Shake the shackles of the mouse and keyboard to roll up your sleeves and explore wood, metal type, ornaments from both the upper and lower cases, handmade papers, color and composition. Collaborate with fellow designers to create a keepsake reflecting your experiences here, while learning how old techniques can spark creative fires.
