Bio

I learned letterpress from my husband Sky Shipley (of Skyline Type Foundry). I get to print with his brand new type, as well as his large collection of antique faces. I’ve done the commercial printing thing, and now I’m changing my focus to launching my jewelry line locally here in Prescott, AZ (and beyond, if all goes well). I also enjoy birding, and acting and singing in community theater.
