Appalachia Press

Appalachia Press Fine Letterpress Printing / Design At Appalachia Press, we honor the labor and elegance of past traditions.

Our printmaking is a union of art, historical traditions and modern design. With the commonality of computers, we forget the origins of type and how images are created. Silkscreen and Letterpress are antique printing processes and have roots that go back five-hundred years or more. John Reburn has been a working artist for over 30 years. Trained at Arizona State University and Otis Art Institute,

he worked in Los Angeles for most of his career. Specializing in printmaking and design, he has worked for entertainment companies including Disney, Universal, and NBC; non-profit organizations such as Bet Tzedek, the Larry King Foundation and the Tiger Woods Foundation; and designed posters for Broadway theatrical productions, musicians, comedians, and live event venues. Appalachia Press produces letterpress stationery and ships to over 150 stores nationwide. Interesting design projects and wholesale inquiries welcome.

It was a busy week! Half on the road for delivery of gorgeous letterpress stationery, studio time, and a couple days at a print auction! And still knocked out a new design…and pressed a few tomatoes ‘cause ‘tis the season.

And with that turn of the press…
We added the last color on our final studio day. The letterpress prints go into post production for trimming, cleaning, and inspection for detail. It was a labor of love and it was worth it. Now off to see maggieperrinkey for signing!

After a long day of pressing the cards by hand - we then add embellishments! Lots of tinting but sometimes adding a rhinestone or ribbon. And that’s before scoring, folding, packaging, and pricing.
There’s a lot of hand labor in every single piece of our stationery! It makes a difference and it’s worth it. With 300 designs in our catalog - we keep busy!
(Usually there’s music pumping but copyright on the socials is an issue.)
