ABOUT ICE POND PRESS: I’m Molly Douma Brewer, typically happily printing, setting up to print, designing, reviewing paper sizes and stocks, bouncing ideas off my dog and stoking the fire in my backyard studio in Bozeman, Montana. I’m lucky to have the space, hand built by my husband with wood reclaimed from a family property in Utah. He had visions of a sauna just steps away from our back door but when I showed up with an enormous Chandler & Price letterpress, Ice Pond Press came to be. With a past in the outdoor industry and public relations, I love good words and all elements of the outside world.  I like to bring both to my letterpress work.

With their masterful use of calligraphy, hand lettering, hand-drawn illustration, vintage etching, watercolor, and typography, the Antiquaria design philosophy embodies a vintage-modern design aesthetic. Antiquaria designs are meant to be approachable, not fussy or over-the-top. At Antiquaria, we believe design should feel natural, like it’s meant to be there, like it’s always been there. Above all, our designs should make you happy.

Antiquaria was officially born in August of 2010, but the adventure began a year earlier, when Emma James and Bailey Amon met in the Austin, Texas stationery store where Emma was designing invitations. Bailey walked into the store one day with her calligraphy portfolio, and the two immediately hit it off... we’re talking instant mutual admiration society here. A couple of months later, Emma hired Bailey to do the calligraphy for her beautiful wedding invitations, and the rest was history.

Sketchy Notions was established in 2011 by Chelsea Ward, a Southern California native and travel addict. Originally Sketchy Notions was just a blog because Chelsea had no knowledge of how to build a website in order to share her work with family and friends. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a BFA in Studio Art, Chelsea flew off to Italy for 2 years to fill sketchbooks and create while abroad. In 2012, she returned to California and started turning her sketches and paintings into prints and cards.
