Albertine Press

Fathers Day is nearly here - still time to pick up a card for the head of your flock!

We’ve got rainbows 🌈 love 💕 and pride all year long!

We’re ready. Summer vibezzzzzz only!

Back by popular demand, join us for a DIY Spring craft night with fellow snail mail and stationery enthusiasts at Albertine Press! All participants will step into our print studio and letterpress their own set of Spring-themed stationery on one of our antique presses, and then experiment with creative embellishments like wax seals, embossing details, envelope liners, and of course hand-lettered messages to give each card unique flair.
🌸
You will take home five letterpress cards and fully embellished DIY envelopes ready to hand deliver or pop in the mail, and lots of techniques to continue sending fun snail mail at home!
🌸
This workshop is for anyone who loves mail! Tweens, teens, and adults welcome. All materials are provided but feel free to bring that decorative touch you’ve been hanging onto for a special project - if not now, when?

To our friends celebrating, we hope you have had a meaningful fast and month of reflection.

Who run the world? Happy - today and every day.

We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented sales associate to join our team!! The position will involve operating our POS system to process sales, customer service, and keeping the store and displays tidy and stocked. The schedule would be two days a week from 11am to 7pm to begin in early April. The days we currently have available are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

The position also includes pitching in with other studio tasks when the store is quiet during the day. Activities might include folding cards, quality checking wedding invitations, helping pull together wholesale orders or one of the many other tasks that pop up in the exciting world of letterpress, as needs arise.

We would love to find someone able to stay through at least the end of the year if it’s a good fit!

To apply, please email a brief letter of interest, resume, and weekly availability to [email protected].

Happy Valentine’s Day! Celebrating love everywhere.

Don’t let tomorrow’s snow ruin your Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day - grab your cards and gifts today! 💌

When composing invitations in a canvas of white, layer and texture become the palette. The bride and her mother, both interior designers, were captivated by this subtlety and elegance, allowing it to become the foundation for a timeless wedding. With deep letterpress impressions into cotton paper, dreamy white florals, delicate silk ribbon, and a wax seal, Sara & Michael’s invitations embraced every opportunity for texture and design.
🤍
Sheer vellum delicately printed with a white floral pattern wraps the invitation suite, adding a layer of organic softness and a touch of romance bound together with a white silk ribbon and complete with a custom monogram wax seal. For more on this suite, check out our new blog post on our website, link in bio.
