2018 Year in Review

12/7/2018

We find ourselves staring down the end of the calendar year, taking stock of this moment in time at the studio. It's been a year of change, growth and gratitude. Here's a look back.

  • In February we moved into a rental space inside Disjecta Contemporary Art Center - YAY!
  • We hosted spring and fall workshop sessions, teaching 10 classes both at our space and at offsite guest locations. 
  • In the summer from May-August we partnered with c3:initiative to host 4 artists in residence for the c3: Papermaking Residency, now entering into its fifth year in 2019!
  • We revamped our rental + membership program, and have had several students and artists using our new space.
  • In October we had the opportunity to purchase a second Hollander beater from a private seller. We're thrilled to expand our offerings thanks to this new equipment!
  • We attended our fifth Friends of Dard Hunter Papermaking Conference, this year in Iowa City, IA. 
  • Jenn wrapped up her term on the board as VP of Communications for the FDH group this October.

Overall these experiences have felt grounding, yet with every step forward we've felt some nervousness around the financial impact of our growth. We've chosen to see it as an investment in what we can provide. As we look to what next year might bring we hope to continue building a community around the art and craft of papermaking.

In January we're excited about the opening of the c3: Papermaking Residency exhibition that will feature the 4 artists we've worked with over this past summer. Be sure to visit c3's website for information about the exhibition and its associated programs. We'll also start reviewing applications for the next round of residency artists at the end of January, with the residencies occurring at our studio from May through August. We'll follow the same flow of workshop seasons in the spring and fall, and will fit in private workshops, membership rentals, demos in the community, and custom orders around the classes. In many ways we hope 2019 mirrors the ebb/flow of this year, creating a stable platform for our studio and for what we are able to offer. 

As we move into our sixth year of operations please consider making a gift to help us keep on top of studio improvements and general overhead. We have fiscal sponsorship via Fractured Atlas and you can make a gift to us via their website. We have a wish list of items we're hoping to purchase with donated funds, and that list is on our support page. And of course we would be happy to take a direct donation of items from our wishlist, just send us an email to discuss.

Many thanks to everyone who has engaged with us this year!!! Your support and interest keeps the studio thriving.
