The plan is Lethbridge pickup first — handoff at the counter or a defined pickup point — so sheets stay flat and liquids stay upright. Regional shipping may follow for small parcels; heavy paper will almost always want a ride home with you.

Titivillus is being built for exactly that need: sheet stock for relief, intaglio, drawing, and related work, with local pickup and room for special orders. Until the physical shop opens, email is the best way to ask about availability or interest.

That is the goal. Titivillus is opening as an independent shop focused on fine papers, printmaking materials, oils, drawing supplies, and practical studio tools for local artists, students, and teachers.

Yes, provided we have the sheet in stock and a clear cut list. Written dimensions help, and if grain direction matters for your project, say so explicitly. Some customers will still prefer to cut their own full sheets, which is completely fine.

If a supplier we can work with carries it, we can usually quote a price, lead time, and any deposit requirement before you commit. Special orders should feel clear, not mysterious.

Yes, but the exact process will depend on the school, department, and timing. Talk to us before semester rush and we can outline what can be invoiced, what needs prepayment, and how pickup will work.

Because material choice matters, and a local conversation often prevents a bad purchase. Paper is tactile, colour is hard to judge on a screen, and many projects do not leave room for shipping delays or trial-and-error buying.

No formal affiliation — we are a separate shop — but we expect plenty of overlap with campus studios and galleries, and we want to be good neighbours to arts programming in the city.

The plan is to take in-person cards and cash at launch, with Square invoices or payment links for remote confirmation when needed. Until then, email is mainly for requests, quotes, and updates.

Once booking goes live, the workshop buttons on the site will point directly to the public scheduling page. Until then, email is the way to ask for a seat or join the interest list.

The shop sits in Lethbridge on Treaty 7 territory, traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy and neighbouring Nations. We aim to operate with respect for that context in how we build community around materials and making.
