History

Established in 2012.

In 2011, curiosity got the best of owner Kristen Ley and she purchased a 1925, 10×15 Chandler + Price platen press from Lexington, KY and hauled it all the way back to Mississippi on tiny trailer with just one other person to help. With the press acquired and a background in graphic design and marketing, she decided to open up Thimblepress®. The name derived from her childhood, now continued on to adulthood, collection of thimbles from her travels– representing places, adventures, family, grandmothers, history, and all the big and small things that make life so wonderful.

Now, in 2015, with a small staff and a studio/​shop location in downtown Jackson, MS, Kristen creates cards, art prints, celebration items and much more; the most well known being her patented Push-​Pop Confetti™.

The Thimblepress® studio is a wholesale office, production facility as well as a retail location. Our products can be found online, in-​store, or through many of our wonderful retailers.
