KERNgirl — Design Studio & Print Shop

KERNgirl is a full service letterpress print shop. Working primarily with hand-set salvaged lead type and lead blocks, KERNgirl presses a wide array of printed materials; everything from greeting cards and coasters, to custom invitations and stationery. The shop also offers small studio workshops and private instruction for those interested in learning the history and art of letterpress printing.

KERNgirl is open from 5-9 every 3rd Thursday of the month and by appointment.
