our lovely editor anne ditmeyer spent hours upon hours (upon hours) compiling her most recent regional roundup to australia. with so many sections featured i decided to compile them here in one post so you could visit the cities in one fell swoop, rather than search around for brisbane part four or brisbane part one. so, below are links to each city and each section- which will live in the “guides” section of d*s permanently. thanks to anne for her hard work and thanks to all of the wonderful artists who shared their work with us.

• melbourne: part one, part two, part three and part four
• sydney: part one and part two
• brisbane
• australia (other cities)

Welcome- what you’ll find here is a working guide to some of the best letterpress studios in the country (as well as a few abroad).

The guide is meant to be searched by the following categories: State, City, E-commerce Enabled, Custom Work and Pre-Made work. You’re more than welcome to read down the center column as you would with a blog but the list is much more useful when organized by search results. Just use the drop down menu to your left to find who you’re looking for. For example, if you need custom wedding invitations try looking in your hometown for a studio you can meet with to design your cards in person.

The list will be updated constantly so feel free to send suggestions and keep coming back as the list grows. There’s also a brief history of letterpress to the left. Enjoy!
