Milk [Seattle] – Stationery zone in the city
Paper Hammer is a Seattle-based letterpress and stationery shop, which carries more than just typeface and paper. If you are thinking to moonlight as a birthday card manufacturer you will find inspiration here. Paper and printed type stand out as a medium of its own at this downtown studio shop.
Situated in the front room of the well-known art book company, Marquard Books, you will find a unique display of beautiful hand-bound journals, letterpress coasters and a selection of vintage novelties like rusty yarn spools throughout the store. There is an extensive array of surprising gift items too like the ceramic hands and garland letter sets suitable for extraordinary occasions like engagement parties and birthdays. Chefs du jour can walk away with hand-painted linen tea towels from Portland designers Makelike. The store includes an adjoining gallery space featuring print, letterpress and photography artists. Check the Paper Hammer website paper-hammer.com for current gallery listings.
