About us
The Hungry Workshop is two very passionate designers and letterpress printmakers. Our enthusiasm for the craft of letterpress combined with our expertise and love of design, typography and illustration ensures that every project, big and small, is imbued with heart and soul.
Simon Hipgrave has quite the imagination, a wicked sense of humour and is always hungry for a clever idea. While he used to spend his weekdays making big ads, he is now crafting custom typography and illustrating quotes from rap songs. On the weekends he is forever tinkering away with the machines.
Jenna Hipgrave has amazing attention to detail, a penchant for paper engineering and sensibly priced wine with well designed labels. When she isn’t gobbling up typography resources at her desk she can be found on her big red arm chair devouring books of all varieties.
The Machine
We operate a Heidelberg Windmill Platen circa 1970. The machine is an old and hungry brute that gobbles up paper and drinks ink. When we discovered him he was malnourished and rusty. With the help of some friends we have cleaned him up and continue to feed him as much paper as possible.
