Grabhorn Institute

Arion Press, located in San Francisco, has been handcrafting artist books for nearly half a century, drawing upon a rich tradition that dates back to the renowned Grabhorn Press. As the only printer in the United States focused on creating books entirely by hand—from typesetting to binding—Arion collaborates with leading artists to transform literary classics into beautifully crafted works of art.

Operating within the last unified hot-metal type foundry letterpress workshop in America, Arion Press employs historic machinery to produce contemporary artist books that challenge traditional craftsmanship. Their commitment to the printed word remains strong in the digital age, ensuring the relevance of artistic literature through innovative publications.
