Collection: East End Press

East End Press is a print and design studio based in the west end of Glasgow, founded in 2015 by designer and printmaker Ellie Hodesdon. They create colourful, handmade paper products which are always made from entirely recycled cotton pulp. Their products are all silk screen printed by hand, creating a luscious, rich look and feel. The brightness of colour and the slight misregistration of print is why they love screen-printing as a process, and what gives their products their unique aesthetic.

All products were initially printed, made, and packed in Glasgow. When a few years later the garland production line had massively outgrown the little screen printing and laser cutting set up Ellie had created in Scotland she headed to Jaipur, the home of printmaking, to look to for manufacturing. In 2018 she found a family who have now become great friends, and they still create everything that East End Press makes. Every manufacturer within the chain they work with are fair-trade; and registered with and independently audited by SEDEX, an international organisation ensuring ethical and responsible supply chains.

East End Press aims to make beautiful, sustainable, fun homeware, stationery and decorations that add something interesting and colourful to your home. Their designs are inspired by children’s book illustrations, folk art, anatomical drawings, food packaging...just about anything!
