Our Melbourne letterpress workshop

We’ve finally done it. We packed up our trusty press on a warm, sunny morning in Brisbane and it arrived a few days later on a quintessentially contrasting cool and overcast Melbourne afternoon. As we waited for the press to arrive, we applied a little bit of elbow grease by mopping and prepping the space.

With the press installed, we started work on the finishing touches. Jenna painstakingly put up our Aim True wallpaper, while Simon built the shelves and unpacked the boxes. We set up our desks with leather and steel chairs which we sourced from a combination of op-shops, council pickup and eBay.

Our new workshop at 54 Hope Street in Brunswick is humble, but it is ours and we love it dearly. If you are in the area we would welcome a visit any time. You don’t have to bring cake, but we won’t turn you away if you do. We are so very grateful to our warehouse neighbours, the Taco Truck and Beatbox Kitchen for having us. Apt neighbours for The Hungry Workshop, wouldn’t you agree?

    Hello, friends. I’m a retired letterpress guy from Kansas, visiting my son in Oz. I hope to drop in your shop before I leave. It looks like you have a Heidelberg windmill like my three (10″ x 15″ size). Have you seen the cool letterpress video on Apple’s website? http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/#book-cards
