The Harebrained Press is a print studio nestled among the eucalyptus trees in country Victoria, Australia. Writer and book artist R.I. Sutton creates editions of quality and uniqueness using the traditional bookmaking techniques of hand-typesetting, letterpress, paper marbling, and binding.
This small press began in 2016 with The Harebrained Press Project: Sutton's endeavour to produce her collection of
short stories, Closer than Breathing, by hand and as a completely independent venture. Seven years after its inception, the project was completed in 2023.
With a love for literature and a focus on continuing the bookmaking crafts, The Harebrained Press is dedicated to sharing the journey with others. To learn more about the story behind our books, please sign up to our Studio News. We appreciate your interest and support!
