A LETTERPRESS LAB OF SORTS

Printed slowly & patiently via letterpress

WELCOME TO LEAD GRAFFITI, a laboratory of sorts in Newark, Delaware, for all things letterpress—a place where you can do some serious experimenting, as well as creative & playful tinkering because :

WE BELIEVE we are a continuing story that passed through Johannes Gutenberg and is still flowing through Lead Graffiti.
WE BELIEVE creative pursuits should have a higher priority, both in time spent and value associated.
WE BELIEVE all people, especially kids, need the opportunity to experience “aha” moments and to learn the value of opposable thumbs.
WE BELIEVE in aggressively searching for the road less traveled.
WE BELIEVE in collaborating.
WE BELIEVE in knowing how to read a ruler, using tools, and doing math in your head.
WE BELIEVE in stockpiling “shelves” of ideas.
WE BELIEVE in working spontaneously and intuitively with those ideas.

If you want the stories behind our creative effort, go to “SHOP” in the top navigation. Individual product pages should give you an overview for each project.
