More often than not, a place or person can only be great at one thing. This is not the case at Twig & Fig. They combine a fully functioning letterpress studio, custom design space, and stationery store in one.
Their pressroom: I couldn't think of a better place for that poster.
Original Heidelberg: The myth, the machine, the legend.
The most intense-heavy-duty paper cutter.
Hand poured plaster/resin letters from England.
White + Gold file folder cases and candy colored binders. Useful + Beautiful make the perfect office supplies.
I was talking to one of the owners and he designed and built all of the curved wooden shelves.
I love these simple pink school supplies.
I want this writing desk!
Lots of pens and pencils.
While I was in the press room, I saw their current project:
Oak and Koa wood greeting cards!
They weren't packaged up yet but I loved them and asked if I could buy them immediately.
They are even better in person.
And this card just blew me away.
First, the image is carved out of linoleum, then a polymer plate is made to letterpress the image.
I can't imagine how long this takes! Plus I love the little preview on the envelope (above)
A custom carved pet portrait would be such a caring original gift for a pet lover.
I love the shop, I love the pressroom, I love the people!
