Julie Karatzis
You never know what’s going to make an impression on you until it happens. For Julie, it was taking a few letterpress classes at The International Printing Museum and deciding to make her own wedding invitations with her fiancé as a fun project to do together.
After such a positive experience — and a stack of beautiful cards to call their own — she was hooked. With three letterpresses now in her possession (weighing in at 80 lbs., 800 lbs. and 1500 lbs. respectively), Julie happily designs, presses and packages all the cards and prints at Cartoules (Greek for “Little Cards”) Press — and we happily covet every single one.
"The detail that goes into each piece is time consuming, but it's also rewarding because everything I make is essentially its own unique piece of art."
“I've always loved to sketch, draw and paint, but when I went to college I pursued a totally different field."
"While I'm printing I'm almost always drinking a homemade latte and blasting music — I work best listening to Spanish or Greek rock music.”
