We are so pleased to share that our very own Rober We are so pleased to share that our very own Robert “Woody” Woodruff has been recognized for his contributions to papermaking history! He has a chapter dedicated to his life, commitment to helping artists, and many accomplishments in supporting WSW’s studios in Aimee Lee’s recent publication, “As Good As Our Tools: Equipment and Tool Makers for Hand Papermaking,” (Legacy Press). Woody has built essential equipment for WSW’s facilities like a hydraulic press, moulds and deckles, a vacuum table, a beater, and more. Aimee Lee is an artist who makes paper, writes, and advocates for Korean papermaking practices. She first met Woody when she was an instructor at WSW in 2013, and later interviewed him for this publication in 2021 when she returned to teach Hanji, a Korean Papermaking technique during our Summer Art Institute. “In a way, I’m sort of a good tool… I hate to say it, but the apocalypse would suit me fine because I’m best at making things work when they’re not supposed to.” - Robert Woodruff, interview with author, 2021

Our new archive capsule exhibition “We Have Move Our new archive capsule exhibition “We Have Moved Neutrality: Looking back at WSW’s Big Brother is Watching” is now on view upstairs through fall 2025. The concept for 1984: Big Brother Is Watching, 5 Women’s Art Organizations Make Artcrime, an Orwellian-inspired photocopy exhibition, was born out of creative motivation to secure a new Xerox machine for the office, paired with“the desire for communication with other women’s art organizations.” WSW invited four like-minded feminist art spaces; Women’s Art Registry, Minneapolis, MN, Women’s Graphic Center, Los Angeles, CA, Local 1734 Art Collective, Washington, DC, and Feminist Art Institute, New York, NY, to create artwork that could be reproduced as multiples on a photocopier, with the intention of the exhibition traveling nationwide over the year. Visit us and learn more about the innovative and radical exhibition. You can even purchase original, limited copies of recently unearthed deadstock exhibition catalogs. Hot tip: these will also be available at the upcoming book fair @cpw_Kingston in August for $48.00
