Hungry Workshop runs a working letterpress operation out of Brunswick East, Melbourne, printing on vintage equipment that includes an Asbern proof press dating to around 1960 and a Chandler & Price platen press over a century old — real, named, dated machinery rather than a generic claim of "vintage presses." The studio's own framing of its work is compact: "We make things that are not only seen, but felt," a line that ties directly to letterpress's tactile, debossed-impression signature.
Its service list runs from business cards, packaging and invitations through swing tags, gift certificates, notebooks and coasters, with custom letterpress projects produced for what the studio describes as "design-conscious brands, creatives and individuals who care deeply about the details." Hungry Workshop also runs small-group letterpress workshops (four to eight people) at the Brunswick East studio, and lists collaborations with makers across other trades — chefs, bakers, tailors — commissioning printed goods, which points to an active commercial-production practice rather than a hobby space kept open mainly for classes.
The business is contactable directly (listed phone and email, appointment-based hours), and its stock in trade is letterpress and closely allied finishing techniques — foil stamping, embossing — rather than digital printing with letterpress as an occasional add-on. That combination of dated working presses, a production-first service list, and a real Melbourne address supports treating it as a dedicated letterpress print house.
