About Pressed and Folded

Pressed and Folded is the joint venture of James and Malissa Brown, founded in 2016. Together they design and publish greeting cards, linocuts and screen prints from their studio in Somerset. Malissa, who has a background in textile design, brings a sophisticated eye for colour and style to the collaboration also an understanding of pattern that complements James’ bold graphic style. All linocuts and the 'Handprinted by Pressed & Folded' range of greetings cards are hand inked and printed by James on a vintage Stephenson Blake galley proofing press. Their original artwork often starts life as a drawing, painting, collage or linocut, which adds a unique quality. Malissa and James always strive to produce the best product they can whilst keeping sustainability at the forefront of their minds. Read their story
