Hearty Greetings was founded in 2012 by Laura Beyer. As a self-proclaimed snail mail enthusiast and lifelong reader, she combined her passion for the written word and love of print to create Hearty Greetings.

The studio equipment is assembled largely from the Metro Detroit area from retired printers and hobbyists. Since most printing presses used in a contemporary letterpress business haven’t been manufactured 50-100+ years, each piece is vintage and has its own history of operators and use.

Laura has over 20 years of printmaking experience. Her work has been collected by esteemed organizations throughout the area, including colleges and universities, private collectors as well as the Detroit Institute of Art.
