About Letterpress PLAY

“Play is for everybody, and hopefully, we play our whole lives.” - Kyle Hawley, Creative Director & Founder of Letterpress PLAY Our Story Kyle Hawley founded Letterpress PLAY with two goals in mind: sharing the magic of letterpress printing with the world and encouraging others to think about fostering sustainable choices and community. Letterpress PLAY crafts beautiful, mess-free and zero-waste paper toys and crafts for people ages 1-100 from our studio in Austin, TX. We believe everyone, young or wise, deserves to experience the joy of creating with their hands. That's why it's our mission to foster community and play for everyone through our paper toys. Our Sustainable Letterpress Process Using wooden type and letterpress machines, we let our imaginations run wild as we handcraft one-of-a-kind and sustainable toys, stationary, and garments. That's right – we do it all with mother earth in mind. All our products are made with biodegradable packaging, recyclable paper, natural dyes, organic cotton, and with zero-waste in mind. Our Presses Our experimentation and play mentality is rooted in letterpress, a vintage art form that allows us to create high-quality products with precision and intricate detail in hopes to cultivate moments of happiness and inspiration. As a tribute to pioneering women in print, we named all eight of our beloved letterpress machines after famous female printers who made a lasting mark on our world.Read their story
