Evans Prints is a Letterpress print studio based in Perthshire, using equipment that has been in the same family since 1840. Mel Evans is resurrecting a collection that has been gathering dust since the 1960s, when her dad, Gwyn Evans, saved it from being scrapped from the family printing business.

Mel is exploring the extensive collection of woodletters & lead monotype, using an Albion hand press, to create text-based original prints. Products to date include greetings cards, A4 prints, coasters, gift tags, mini crackers and bunting. There are many more cases of type and ornamental blocks to dust off & re-awaken, with significant creative potential.

Sales so far have been via craft fairs, online and via commissions - check the gallery for examples of work so far, or visit our Instagram or Facebook pages for regular posts, or get in touch if you’d like to discuss ideas for the future.
