The Arm
Brooklyn letterpress studio built around teaching and shared presses rather than volume production. Printers rent time on proof presses, take classes in hand setting, polymer printing and press operation, and buy inks, rollers, rule and other supplies on the spot. Short runs of posters, cards and art editions are printed for clients too, but the heart of the place is the community that passes through the door each week.
A rare address for someone in New York who wants to learn on real equipment before buying a press, or who owns no shop yet and needs studio time. Not the right call for a company ordering thousands of invitations with a fixed deadline. Class places fill quickly, and rented press hours must be booked well ahead.
