Hungry Workshop

Hungry Workshop http://hungryworkshop.com.au Adventures in letterpress & design from Melbourne, Australia.

At The Hungry Workshop, we use a Heidelberg ‘Windmill’ platen to deliver our work to the highest quality. And although we don’t ink the plates manually or feed each sheet by hand, every print run requires constant attention. Each sheet is inspected, with ink and impression adjustment to produce the unique tactile finish of letterpress. We print both our own projects, designed in house, and projects for other creative people, studios and agencies. Our enthusiasm for the craft of letterpress combined with our expertise and love of design, typography and illustration ensures that every project, big and small, is imbued with heart and soul.

We’ll take any opportunity to celebrate our wonderful city, especially if it means we get to work with Lindsay Phoebe Ngai and Birkenstock Australia 🤩

The Lindsay Melbourne City Guide includes essays by local writers, over 150 cultural destinations, regional excursions and city walks. Even better news is that the first 50 orders placed through Lindsay’s online shop will receive a letterpressed postcard, printed by yours truly.

Design: Beth Wilkinson Studio
Illustration: Phoebe Ngai
Production: Letterpress printed on Stephen Limestone Ivory 360gsm from Spicers Australia

Jess Head built Short Talk (Short Talk) around a belief that written words are gifts and that cards should be treasured. When she wanted to approach her dream stockists, she didn’t send a catalogue. She sent a custom box filled with unique greeting cards, sweet treats and a personal note.
The box did the talking. Today, Short Talk is stocked across Australia, including Milligram and Readings, and around the world.

Paper engineering & box design: Hungry Workshop - Letterpress & Design
Production: Letterpress printed and die cut on Spicers Australia Stephen Clay 360gsm (15% cotton, 25% recycled)

A delicious mix of colours in this notebook from our Colorplan x Ball & Doggett hands on event. At the workshop, everyone choose their own paper colours, from the incredible range of Colorplan. I wish I’d captured a photo of every single notebook as each and every one was unique!
