Have you ever heard of letterpress printing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your answer is no, then you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s probably because the technique was developed in the mid-15th century and has since been replaced by modern printing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for Idahoan Angela Stewart, the letterpress is still in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI fell in love with letterpress a long time ago,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, love is one thing \u2014 figuring out how to use a 1900\u2019s cast iron printing machine is a whole different animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not somewhere to go to school to learn to letterpress, so I used old high school text books, I had a friend who helped me, I got on the internet, I cried\u2026\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, Stewart is the owner, designer and press operator at Ladybug Press. The Boise-based company creates functional art that\u2019s made to be used and enjoyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe definitely have a culture that supports things that are handmade. I love seeing people go back to supporting the things that are made in this country,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her online store includes shirts, tea towels, cards, art prints, notebooks and wine bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always joke that I have two children, the Ladybug Press and my son. I think they both demand time,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for Stewart, time with Ladybug Press is time well spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do this because it\u2019s what I want to do. I want to be able to make things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn high school I was told to get a math degree because artists don\u2019t make money, but I make money,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s a lesson Stewart wants to pass on to the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is definitely something that I can teach my kid; that he can go out and do the things that he wants to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
