Veramine Press
Main Content
Welcome to a scrappy little stationery studio in RVA.
Veramine Press
Creative studio and private press run by Naomi María.
She designs stationery, home decor, and lifestyle products using US made and recycled materials. Despite a fine arts education training of traditional techniques, she has a rather loose definition of printmaking. Anything is fair game: traditional, photographic, digital, and other experimental processes.
A lil’ somethin’ about
Naomi María
I’m an art director, designer & illustrator in advertising with a BFA in something else—printmaking.
After watching a letterpress documentary, I decided to cobble together a print studio to combat burnout. It started with one ill-informed purchase of a press from Idaho and now I have five. I bought some fonts, made some fonts, and regularly DIY bits and bobs needed for my practice. Veramine Press is a work in progress, an adventure, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately a good time.
What is veramine anyway?
Veramine is a green variety of quartz also known as prasiolite. I'm a big fan of green rocks and gemstones, all my Morgan Sign Machine Company presses are painted a metallic green, and the word is pretty. So here we are.
