Find your 𝕥𝔂Ꭾ𝖊 during Summer Art Institute! Make a Find your 𝕥𝔂Ꭾ𝖊 during Summer Art Institute! Make a lasting impression on your portfolio by participating in one of our exciting letterpress workshops instructed by Oscar Maynard @tenderheartpress!

📰❤️‍🔥Printing Heart Spells, July 27 - 31
This workshop will guide you through distilling your most potent wish, spell or prayer, into a letterpress poster! Watch as your manifestations come to life and roll onto the page one after another. Exploring methods of visual poetics, this workshop will enable participants to experiment and play with overlapping text, color, and image to create an engaging poster echoing your heart’s desire. Link in bio for full description.

📰🗣️📢Making Revolution Irresistible, August 3 - 7
Lend your voice to a cause close to your heart and make a bold statement! Now more than ever is the time to speak up for what you believe in and feel for deeply. Spend the week creating one-of-a-kind posters ready to be displayed through the streets, in your windows, or shared with friends. Grounded in the words of writer, teacher, and activist Toni Cade Bambara, this workshop will guide participants through the process of making “revolution irresistible.” Through combined processes of writing, editing, and printing, participants will learn how to actualize sentiment into words and visuals that are both engaging and personal. Link in bio for full description.

Back by popular demand! Everyday Whimsy Redux with Back by popular demand! Everyday Whimsy Redux with Lora Shelley @lorashelley will be back Thursdays from 5-7PM, May 21st to June 25th. This class is currently in the members-only registration period and will open to all for registration on Friday, April 3rd.

Learn to make imaginative functional objects for your everyday life! In this class we will explore different methods of hand-building— including slab, coil, pinch, and hollowing out a form. Embracing experimentation and play, we’ll dream up whimsical designs and make them come to life. Make your own small custom accessories. Brighten up your kitchen counter with a raccoon sugar bowl and matching spoon. Make a squirrel-themed paint palette with mushroom brush rest and woodsy water vessel. The possibilities are endless!

Featuring film screening posters from WSW’s archives, “this exhibition reframes women’s work, showcasing and celebrating the organizing labor that enabled groundbreaking film, video, and community media collectives like Third World Newsreel, Paper Tiger Television, and Women Make Movies to pursue new forms of self expression and advocate for political change from the 1960s-1990s.”

We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence I We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence Ivana Carman @ivanacarman who joined us for our Art-In-Ed Workspace Residency. While at WSW, she was focused on exploring synthetic versus organic forms through a screenprinting project by overlapping handpainted and digital marks, and monotype color studies that had a focus on nature.

Carman describes her paintings, “[they] inhabit a realm that exists at the intersection of the real and synthetic. Through an assemblage of painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking, I create convincing illusions that fracture with dissonance.” For more information visit her website, ivanacarman.art.
