About the dairy studio

We are all things paper and print!

In 2019 The Dairy Studio was founded by creative designer Lizzie Arthur. Here at The Dairy Studio we love to combine contemporary design with traditional printing methods to create bespoke personal stationery.

At The Dairy Studio we love to work closely with you to create one of a kind luxury stationery. All our stationery is printed to order, meaning we can truly share your vision. We take our inspiration from beautiful natural elements and combine this with contemporary typography and design.

Letterpress is a traditional printing method where the bespoke photopolymer plate is inked up and pushed into the surface of the paper. This creates a beautiful tactile deboss impression, that any stationery lover will swoon over.

Hot foil printing is a similar technique, but uses foil instead of ink. Foils are not just shiny, but come in matte and transparent colours too!

 

Lizzie was really helpful and so efficient. It was such a pleasure to have a supplier so engaged and helpful - she made us feel like we were a priority which is unusual and so refreshing. We also had quite tight timings and Lizzie helped us work to those. We couldn’t have been happier with the end result and Lizzie was a delight to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Meet Lizzie

I first started my creative journey studying Fashion Design at De Montfort University, which then lead me to design womenswear for the British High Street for 6 years.

My first experience of letterpress printing was when I designed my first wedding suite, the only problem was that I couldn’t print it in-house. It was at the end of 2019, whilst I was taking a break from the fashion industry I started to learn more about the traditional printing method of letterpress printing, and the rest is history. I am a self taught letterpress and hot foil printer, drawing on all my past creative experience to build The Dairy Studio into a small business, bringing luxury stationery to all the paper lovers out there.

The Dairy Studio’s name pays homage to where I grew up which was on my Grandfather’s dairy farm in the beautiful North Devon countryside. After living away for 10 years I returned to the family farm and made this my home. Even if you don’t live in Devon, or even in the UK we can still work together. My stationery has had the delights of being sent all over the UK and the world!
