About The Aesthetic Union

The Aesthetic Union is a San Francisco-based letterpress print studio. We create original art prints, posters, cards, and stationery, and collaborate with local artists to bring their ideas to life. Everything is made by hand, in the studio, using our vintage letterpress machinery. As one of the last remaining letterpress printers in the Bay Area, it’s our mission to keep this time-tested artform alive and share it with the world. While we operate as a letterpress print studio, we’re also a hub for like-minded individuals to congregate and create. We provide a physical space for community and collaboration so that everyone has access to letterpress printing services, equipment, and education. In an increasingly digital world, we keep the human element front and center and imbue soul into everything we make. After all, letterpress is derived from the first ever practice of mass produced printing. It is only human to be drawn to the texture and quality of this print method, and it is our responsibility as patrons of the press and practice to preserve and promote it!Read their story
