"We Shall Never Rebuild Halifax Unless Everybody Works".
In the background of a photograph found in the online collection of the Nova Scotia Archives is a letterpress printed poster that was essentially Halifax's version of the famous "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster. "We Shall Never Rebuild Halifax Unless Everybody Works" was created after the Halifax Explosion, which had a tremendous impact on the city and its citizens − taking years to rebuild. The quote is a sentiment that still holds true today.
This inspiring commemorative keepsake poster was screenprinted by hand, in a limited 1 colour run. It serves as a great reminder that we, as Haligonians, have to work together to ensure Halifax maximizes its full potential.
Also available as a postcard!
As seen in the New York Times!

Inkwell Originals is the in-house studio of Inkwell, a modern handmade boutique & letterpress studio in downtown Halifax. Graphic designers Andrea Rahal and Daniel MacDonald create art prints, greeting cards, postcards, stationery and drink coasters inspired by the ocean, coastline, Nova Scotia and the people of Halifax. Antique letterpresses create these tactile products. The cast-iron presses are hand-powered and the paper is fed by hand. The end result is a charming and tactile impression in the paper.

Let customers speak for us
Beautifully made ornament that was a special gift for a loved one given as part of a family tradition. It looked very sweet on the tree.
These beautifully crafted cards come with a self-sealing gold envelope and allow the sender to express their wishes with a blank slate, which I love so I can personalize my holiday wish to the recipient. Simple and elegant, the local birds that appear on these cards capture the true essence of winter in the Maritimes!
Crossover White, Mint & Brown Bowl (Small)
So nice, lovely design, fits perfectly into even a small purse or tote
I highly recommend checking these out in store if you are local. The colors are so beautiful. The craftmanship is also fantastic!
