Here at The Aesthetic Union, we’re more than just a print shop producing beautiful artwork. We provide a physical space for collaboration and community, uniting people through the art of letterpress printing in an increasingly digital world. We’ve made it our responsibility to provide a hub for like-minded individuals to congregate and create. Through the time-tested craft of letterpress, we strive to encourage a diverse and inclusive community, available to people from all walks of life.
