Mini Profile at Poppytalk Handmade: Letterpress by Colleen Ellse


Colleen Ellse graduated from the Art Institute of Boston and after working as a designer for several years, she soon discovered the art and craft of letterpress printing.  She studied under several printers for over two years before starting her own freelance design and letterpress services in 2009.  Colleen designs and prints custom invitations, announcements, stationery, and launched a paper goods line in June 2011.  Ever respectful of the creative process, she values the importance of thoughtful design and quality letterpress printing.
