About our facilitator:

Ann Ong is the owner of Bright Press. She is super passionate about letterpress printing, and even with over 14 years of printing experience, she never stops wanting to learn more about printing history, and to push the boundaries of letterpress printing. At Bright Press, Ann not only produces custom and bespoke stationery for clients using a fleet of vintage printing presses, but is a curator and educator in letterpress printing history.
