Quiet colouring rituals for slow mornings
Slowmorning Press is a small press for adults who want a near-zero-cost habit — deliberate, screen-free, and printable. Start with the free 3-page botanical sample; when you're hooked, three paid editions follow, each formatted for both 8.5×11" and A4 in a single PDF. No subscription, no app, no login.
Bracken frond
Eight leaves on a stem · printed in single-weight line
Plate I previews the Mini edition. The same hand-curated line work shapes the Standard and Max — only the depth of the collection changes.
A few plates from the line work
A small, curated cut of the line work, organised by what it draws — botanical subjects and woodland subjects — so you can see the actual plate quality before choosing a tier. The full set, with one or two plates per edition and matching Buy buttons, sits one click deeper on the sample page.

These ten plates are a cut, not the catalogue. Every edition — including the seasonal Minis — has its own preview, with one or two real plates per tier you can pin next to the matching Buy button.
Three editions · one file each
Every Slowmorning Press edition ships as a single PDF, formatted for both US Letter and A4 — print whichever page size matches the paper you already have. The line work is hand-curated across all three editions; the depth and price change by tier.
Edition · standard
A week or two of regular practice.
Limited autumn release
A third themed Mini, not part of the evergreen line. Available through November; not part of the evergreen Mini, Standard, or Max editions.
Or bundle all three for a single $39.99 Stripe checkout — one minimum-friction pass at the full line-art catalogue. See the complete collection.
Looking for the full encyclopaedia in one view? See every edition, side by side — five print-ready editions across woodland, shoreline, and garden themes.
Not sure? Start with the free 3-page sample — a single Mini-style botanical plate plus two Standard-style woodland plates, in your inbox the same day.
How to print
One of the promises of a Slowmorning Press edition is that it prints cleanly at home, on the paper you already own, with no extra setup. The guide below covers the four practical questions — paper weight, paper size, single-sided, and pacing — so you can sit down without thinking about the print dialog.
No. 01
Standard 80–100 gsm office paper works fine for a first sitting — the line work prints cleanly without bleed. If you plan to use fineliners, markers, or heavy pencil pressure, switch to 120 gsm+ card stock so the ink doesn't feather and the page keeps its shape.
No. 02
Every Slowmorning Press PDF arrives with both page sizes baked in — US Letter (8.5×11") and A4 (210×297 mm). Print whichever half matches the paper already on your desk; you don't need to reformat or pick at the file.
No. 03
Single-sided printing keeps line work crisp on the back of the next page. Black-and-white gives the cleanest result; greyscale is fine if you don't have a true black-ink setting. The line work is tuned for pen and ink, so colour printing adds nothing here.
No. 04
A Mini edition is a single sitting. A Standard is a week or two of regular practice. A Max is a binder for the season. The PDF is yours to keep — reopen it next quiet evening and start where you left off.
One tip to remember: if your printer drivers give you a "fit to page" or "shrink to margins" option, turn it off so the printed plate lines up with the line work on screen. The line work is tuned to the exact page size, and a 4% shrink will quietly misalign the botanical detail at the edges.
New editions arrive quietly
Forest Edges, Wildflower Meadow, the seasonal rotations — a low-volume note goes out the moment one ships. No marketing, just a line so the next edition doesn't slip past you.
