Homework Letterpress Studio

Homework Letterpress Studio is a small print shop in Edmonton, Canada that brings joy to you and your loved ones, and inspires connection, through the humble greeting card. Each card is created with quality in mind, using 100% cotton paper, and an old-school letterpress machine. Homework’s imagery is inspired by the everyday beauty of nature, the joys of life, and childhood tales from Daria’s upbringing. 

Daria Hirny discovered her creative voice through printmaking at the University of Alberta, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She later fell in love with letterpress printing, appreciating its ability to produce large quantities while maintaining the quality and textural look of relief printing. The turning point in Daria's artistic journey came when she inherited her first printing press, the illustrious Heidelberg Windmill. This momentous event led her to a realization: that her art could transcend the confines of a gallery setting and find its way into the hearts and homes of everyday individuals. The humble greeting card became her canvas, allowing her to share her creativity with a wider audience, bring joy to people's lives, and spark their inner child.
