After graduating with my Master’s Degree in Printmaking
from a university in East Tennessee and moving to a
much warmer client with my husband, I launched
ThistleBerry Press in Killeen, Texas. I was a short drive
from Austin, the city that first afforded me the opportunity
to fall in love with letterpress printing. One class
and I was hooked! I then spent the next year s
earching for old type cabinets and presses and
was lucky enough to find my Vandercook late 2005.
Built in 1954, it’s simply the most beautiful piece
of machinery I’ve ever seen. And weighing in at
about 1100 lbs., it’s the largest love of my life!
We have now made the move to Coastal Georgia,
we are located just outside historic Savannah
and are thrilled with our new location!
