Grapheme

Grapheme Grapheme is a letterpress studio and retail shop located in Seattle's Central District. Full class schedule on our website.

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.

Heads up that U.S. postage prices went up today! Good news, though: our vintage stamp sets still have enough stamps to mail a first class letter (and they are prettier than most Forever stamps, too). 😘✔️

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.
