Back in 2007, Alison fell in love with letterpress at the San Francisco Center for the Book when she took a class on one of their Vandercook proof presses. After learning terms that originated in the typesetting world, (“mind your p’s and q’s” “out of sorts”) she set out looking for old printing presses. Through a series of emails she found her press in an old print shop where it had been abandoned in a corner for 22 years. Thus began the long journey to forming Love Through Letterpress.

Alison enjoys weekends with her little family at the farmers market, the occasional cup of strong coffee and trying out new recipes in her kitchen. The tactile art of letterpress, wordsmithing, and modern art tickle her fancy.

Love Through Letterpress believes that words have power. The power to further genuine human connection and the power to lift others up. We make stationery and lifestyle goods printed with heartfelt expressions and uplifting messages, all designed to champion others on their journey through life. #lovethroughyourwords #liftothersup
