cultivé COURSE No. 01
A stationer’s guide to flatlay styling
Discover what stationers everywhere wish photographers and planners knew...
We’ve teamed up with Mikyla of Ink & Press Co. for a multi-part series on how to consistently style and shoot beautiful flatlays.
As both wedding stationers and film photographers, we’ve seen (and tried) it all.
We’re here to help you cultivate your own styling skills by walking you through how we transformed our own lackluster, blown-out, upsetting flatlays into publication-worthy pieces.
We cover:
Defining your flatlay style and why it matters
Do’s and Don’ts when working with a stationer
Styling Kits & Surfaces - honest talk about must-haves and what you can leave behind
Practical, in-depth layout and styling tips, including a bonus layout diagram guide
Common mistakes to avoid when setting up your layout, start out on the right foot!
Photographing your flatlay - we get into the gritty details of common lighting & editing mistakes that even well-seasoned photographers make (us included!)
Recorded Styling Sessions with both me (Shasta) and Mikyla as we demonstrate our different approaches to suite styling.
And much, much more!
cultivé COURSE No. 02
A STATIONER'S GUIDE TO FOIL PRINTING & HANDMADE PAPER
They say handmade paper and foil printing is a labor of love... We're here to make the process easier.
Our second Cultivé course is designed to help you cultivate your own foil printing and handmade paper skills by walking you through the mechanics of our printing processes, how we set up print files, pressing, and our favorite handmade paper brands.
There's no doubt handmade paper can be frustrating to work with, especially if you are foil printing. While this match has a reputation for being tricky, the combination is exquisite.
We've combined our knowledge and experience from years of working with handmade paper and foil printing, something both our brands and individual aesthetics are known for,
to create this all-encompassing course.
We are here to share our secrets, tips, and tricks to how we foil press on handmade paper achieving professional, consistent, results right from the comfort of our studio.
