My story
Blue Canary Letterpress is owned and operated by 2nd generation printer, Jodi Bortz in her hometown of Chestertown, MD.
After winning a 1921 Chandler & Price 10X15 platen press in an auction several years ago, Jodi learned letterpress working with artist and childhood friend Robbi Behr and her husband Matthew Swanson as Haywire Letterpress. When their childrens’ book career took off, Jodi moved the press out of their barn and began Blue Canary Letterpress.
Blue Canary Letterpress specializes in custom creations for special events, businesses, and other art quality print needs. Jodi has been privileged to work with many emerging brands to integrate letterpress branding and packaging into their launch or new product lines. As a fellow entrepreneur, she’s able to understand the challenges of other small business owners and provide support from her experience.
