Biography

We are an independent printing press and a self-publishing studio located in Kaunas, Lithuania. The studio is run by designers and illustrators Inga ir Gabriele. We love analogue printing techniques and we hope to introduce them in creative ways to a wider audience.

Seeing the lack of such places in the region urged us to establish the studio in central Kaunas where we could offer the services of risograph, screen printing, linocut, woodcut, letterpress, bookbinding and book design.

Our goal is to promote self-publishing in various forms, such as zines, catalogues, prints, books or other ephemera. Because of the lack of the space in the studio, we tend to work with small formats and small editions. We love stories and narratives and we are sure that everyone has a story to tell.

Technological limitations can be a valuable tool of design within the field of self-publishing
