About Inkwell Originals

Inkwell Originals is the in-house creative studio of Inkwell Modern Handmade, a retail store and letterpress studio in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The studio is operated by partners in life and business, graphic designers Andrea Rahal and Daniel MacDonald. They started Inkwell Originals line of paper goods when they purchased their first letterpress in 2010. Today, the charming and tactile feel of letterpress continues in the work created by Inkwell Originals, which includes greeting cards, prints and coasters. Their original designs use a combination of hand drawn elements and illustrations on the computer, all of which make their way, one sheet at a time through the hand-powered presses that Andrea and Daniel operate. The designs of Inkwell Originals are inspired by their location close to the ocean, driven by creative spirit and shared with people down the street and around the world.Read their story
