The Aesthetic Union

AU is a combination correspondence & print shop that specializes in smaller, high end print runs. The Aesthetic Union began as a desire for collaboration. Printing has long been the process where designer and artist come together to duplicate their work. But printmaking is a craft that requires years of dedication to master. When an artist and designer collaborate with a Master Pinter, a new type of artwork is created. The image is altered from the process. From the artist’s hand, to printing plates, to the press, and then finally, the pressman’s eye, the final product is an entirely different specimen. It’s been transformed through the alchemical processes of a craft that’s been around for centuries. Our goal is not only to show people the process, but educate; printing is essential to the form that they hold in their hands. From custom-designed business cards, limited edition posters, packaging, etc, we love collaborating with people who have amazing ideas or designs. The union in Aesthetic Union is about our relationship with you. You are who we are printing and designing for. The Aesthetic Union is you and I.
