That’s a wrap folks! Here’s a look into week 2 That’s a wrap folks! Here’s a look into week 2 of Summer Art Institute featuring “Risograph Structures” with Caroline Kern @carolinezkernz, “Broadsides, Ballads, and Fables: Letterpress Printing with Type and Image” with Corinne Teed @corinneteed, and “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board: Casting with Paper” with SR Lejeune. 

In addition to forming clay molds for paper casting, using the Vandercook press, and much more, we’re thrilled to offer archive visits for students to see pieces of our history and get inspired!
We’re sad to see this beautiful mural go, but he We’re sad to see this beautiful mural go, but here’s a sneak peak into our next mural by Symone Salib @symonesalibstudio !

Last year, Shelby Rodeffer’s @smellby SAI workshop “Public Murals Are for Everyone: Exploring the Arena of Civic and Public Artwork” painted this beautiful mural on our campus to honor 50 years of WSW!

The group combined the commonality of artistic themes that resonated with them individually and together. Those included: community, nature, memory, femininity, and handmade creativity. In reflecting on what these narratives meant to their practice as artists, and to the environment around WSW, they in turn developed this design with the Three Sisters of the Lenape Indigenous peoples as their central focus.

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
