Open to Being Celebrates Grand Opening of Letterpress Studio & Shop

ARLINGTON, Va. - EntSun -- Open to Being®, a woman-owned artisanal stationery and art brand, is excited to announce the grand opening of its studio and shop at 2424 26th Rd. S, Arlington, VA. The space will be a creative hub and boutique retail destination, where guests can experience the artistry of letterpress stationery, shop a curated collection of handcrafted goods that inspire authentic connections, and participate in workshops.

A highlight of the studio is the 115-year-old treadle-operated letterpress, used to print Open to Being's signature greeting cards, one at a time. In addition to the premium paper goods created by artist Theresa Esterlund, the shop will feature carefully selected gifts from local makers.

Open to Being will also offer classes and events that encourage participants to slow down, express themselves, and connect. Workshops will include reflective journaling, postcard writing, hand-bound notebook making, and similar. Private letterpress instruction will also be available.
