During my shoot I tried to put an emphasis on three things: Athena the maker, Athena the shop owner and Athena the big character (almost everyone I told that I was going to photograph her said they knew her from a calligraphy course, from a printing workshop or have been to the shop to satisfy their stationary addiction). Here she is working at one of her two 1960s Original Heidelberg printing presses.
Athena uses this printing press to produce greeting cards, letter sets and various prints with her unique designs. She also design bespoke event or wedding invitations. But these the printing process doesn’t stop here. She recently bought this beautiful wooden letter press with many letters in various sizes and is in the process of designing a range of new prints.
Can you read it? It says ‘lefty loosey, righty tighty’.
“Betty is super friendly, calm and it’s completely obvious that she adores photography, which I think definitely adds to better pictures!”
Meticulous Ink is a fine stationary shop located on Walcot Street that also offers lettering workshops. Athena Cauley-Yu is the vibrant and fun owner who is deeply established in Bath.
You can find Athena in her shop on 134 Walcot Street in Bath BA1 5BG. Go and visit her website, she has an extensive online shop with many great gifts and sets.
