Print Yourself to Happiness
About us
If By Magic is a micro-printhouse based in Helsinki, specializing in Risoprinting. We print artworks, illustrations, comics, zines, poems, shopping lists, and declarations of affection—basically anything.
Founded by printmaker Robin Clifford Ellis and writer/graphic designer Patrick Savolainen, If By Magic aims to provide a crucial service to Finland’s artists and creatives, and introduce everyone to the joys—and yes, the magic—of printmaking.
Risography is a stencil-based printmaking method using the Risograph printing machine. Colours are printed one at a time, with results that are eye-catching, vibrant, and unique.
Location
We’re based in Vuosaari, Helsinki, in a former high school building right next to the metro station. The workshop is easy to reach—whether you’re coming by foot, bike, public transport, or car (there’s parking available outside). The building is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp at the entrance and our workshop located on the ground floor.
Feel free to drop by (but give us a heads-up first)! We’re always happy to show you around and talk about your projects.
