We offer regular Introduction to Letterpress Printing classes and press rentals once you've taken the class. We carry organizational and office products in-shop, as well as other paper products and stationery that encourage clarity, creativity, precision, and self-reflection. We look for clean design and attention to detail in all of our products, whether produced in-house or by our distributors w

orldwide, because we believe that smart design has the capacity to influence our mental space. Our letterpress and book arts workshops provide a structured way to focus and hone attention toward the creation of beautiful and functional objects that serve this mission.

Just added these risograph art prints by .c.blanchard to the shop, and they are speaking to me rn because 1) what a year so far 😳 and 2) we are celebrating the opening of the Madrona Farmers Market tomorrow with our annual sidewalk sale, and I am ready for some literal (as well as figurative) flourishing.
Come say hello tomorrow through Sunday and peruse our 50% off table and other great deals! Plus 10% off your entire purchase. Check us out inside if it’s raining! 🌧️

However you celebrate this day (or don’t), I hope you feel loved. 💜

Grapheme will be open today, Friday 1/30. However, in support of MN and what is variously being called the National General Strike and the National Day to Support Immigrants, we will be donating 50% of the day’s sales to and making additional individual donations as well.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood, we have free On Tyranny postcard sets available at the shop. Cash preferred otherwise whenever possible.

Come celebrate the 10th anniversary of Grapheme!! To mark ten years of business, we’ve made a 2026 tiny letterpress + vintage postage stamp calendar, and we’ll be giving away ten of them in the shop this week (two each day, this Wednesday-Sunday)! We’ll also have 25% off any purchase and a variety of other grab bag items and giveaways. It will be our biggest sale of the year! I’ll be there for the first half of most days, and Flora and Elise will be there to say hello if I’m not! Stop on by and help us celebrate! 🥰
Follow the link in bio ☝️ to see the entire calendar, each page of which can be cut down and repurposed as art prints to save or give away. (And use code MILESTONE10 for 25% off any online purchase through Sunday.)

Happy July! This is the first year since the pandemic that our summer hours will not be changing, with the exception of a couple of days (closed tomorrow, the 4th of July). I’ll keep the shop hours updated here, as well as online. In the meantime, stop by to check out what’s new this summer—and to say hello. ✨😊
