About us...

Thursday Press is a small letterpress studio based in North Yorkshire. We hand print a wide range of art prints and commissions using an 1843 Albion cast-iron press and vintage fonts and letterpress type.

Our prints are inspired by the collection of vintage blocks in our studio, relics of the time when all printing was done this way. The patina on the blocks gives the prints a textured look and every print is unique. We use traditional, sustainable inks and recycled papers for a high quality finished product. Each print is made by hand in limited runs and this means that every print is unique with its own character.

The woodblock letters are assembled in a printer’s form, held in place using quoins. The layout is proofed and inks mixed for each run and the printing process begins. The ink is applied by hand roller to the blocks for every print before it is pressed.

All our prints are handmade in Yorkshire; they are not computer graphic images reproduced on an electronic printer.
