Ken-Speckle Letterpress

Welcome to Ken-Speckle Letterpress

I've always been enamored by the charm and craftsmanship of Ken-Speckle Letterpress. Nestled in the picturesque city of Duluth, Minnesota, at the western extremity of Lake Superior, this letterpress studio embraces 19th-century techniques to offer ingenious solutions to 21st-century problems. Led by the talented duo of Rick Allen and Marian Lansky, Ken-Speckle combines traditional and digital methods to create distinctive and captivating designs.

A Unique Collection

Explore the Kenspeckle Shop and discover a delightful assortment of notecards, giclees, wood engravings, printed ephemera, books, posters, and tasteful novelties. Rick Allen, with his keen focus on the 19th century, meticulously prints wood engravings and lino cuts in small editions using multiple blocks and hand coloring. Meanwhile, in the 21st century, Marian expertly crafts limited edition giclees of Rick's prints as well as her own artistic creations.
