With an affinity to travel and drawing, sketching and journalling, it was inevitable that Emily would stray from the computer based format learnt in her graphic design degree, to a more tactile way to create art. Whist travelling and studying in Holland, Emily discovered and fell in love with the process of screen-printing and letterpress. After returning to perth, this was the process in which her designs came to life, with makeshift home printing set ups. Emily started The Little Press whilst working as a freelance graphic designer, selling art prints and everyday stationery at local markets. Over the years it's grown to a large warehouse studio space, with a team of vintage heavy presses, and working with clients for bespoke invitations around the world - and more recently a beautiful shopfront in Margaret River. The slower pace of country living has meant a shift from working in the wedding industry to focusing on our every day stationery which we continue to sell to stores around the world. Margaret River Open Studios inspires a new body of artworks, and this year it will be a mix of letterpress, Screenprint, block printing, embroidery and hand lettering, with some ceramics too!
