I'll give it to you straight: I don’t print wedding invitations or business cards.
I work closely with a small and select group of clients including writers and artist. And I teach classes.

These two incredible women are taking their brush lettering caper on the road this week. Look out London, New York and San Francisco because a couple of absolute QUEENS will be brushing the hell out of some letters in your home town. I've done their class; it is fascinating and illuminating and they are masterful and humble. Do not miss this rare chance to work with them. I'm grateful every day that I've had the chance to.
I'm really excited to be going to a Pet Portrait class tomorrow with @sethsearle at @thinkthornbury . I think there are a few spots left, you should come! Ticket info at the @thinkthornbury website
A fitting farewell for my final Introduction to Letterpress. Thanks for being a wonderful class, laughing at my jokes and asking all the smart questions.
Never a truer word spoken. My penultimate class full of lovely humans printing lovely #letterpress. Letters by @drawandexplore_ for a split fountain demo
Something @spilenka and I made this week
Don't be fooled. This smaller-than-average girl can teach you how to operate and maintain an original masterpiece of engineering. People travel from all over to learn from her. Today's student has flown down from Sydney. Her favourite question is "who services your machines?" to which she answers, "I service my own fucking machines." Enough talking in the third person, it's getting weird. If you'd like to take my Intro to Letterpress class, the last one (ever!) will happen on June 17th.
In case you need convincing... some photos from student @lyekel who travelled from Tamworth on the weekend to attend both my Introduction to Letterpress workshop on Saturday and followed it up with Adana 101 on Sunday. Total STEAM Punk and kindred spirit was she. From Kelly: "Loved everything about the last two days learning #letterpress from the queen thereof - Amy @saintgertrude not least the beautiful #vintage presses."
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that June will be my last Introduction to Letterpress workshop. In four years I have taught more than 250 people about this process that I love. And in four years I've learned something surprising and dear: I was born to teach. There are some big changes afoot (the exciting kind!). To make way for the new, something had to give. Very limited spots are available in my last two classes so book now, or forever hold your peace! I will still offer open access studio sessions to past students and some limited one-on-one tutorials. And Kind will always - always - trump Cool.
