Fine Letterpress Printing / Design At Appalachia Press, we honor the labor and elegance of past traditions.

Our printmaking is a union of art, historical traditions and modern design. With the commonality of computers, we forget the origins of type and how images are created. Silkscreen and Letterpress are antique printing processes and have roots that go back five-hundred years or more. John Reburn has been a working artist for over 30 years. Trained at Arizona State University and Otis Art Institute, he worked in Los Angeles for most of his career. Specializing in printmaking and design, he has worked for entertainment companies including Disney, Universal, and NBC; non-profit organizations such as Bet Tzedek, the Larry King Foundation and the Tiger Woods Foundation; and designed posters for Broadway theatrical productions, musicians, comedians, and live event venues. Appalachia Press produces letterpress stationery and ships to over 150 stores nationwide. Interesting design projects and wholesale inquiries welcome.

It was a busy week! Half on the road for delivery of gorgeous letterpress stationery, studio time, and a couple days at a print auction! And still knocked out a new design…and pressed a few tomatoes ‘cause ‘tis the season.
