During this period, WSW hosted many programs with feminist artists at local businesses and spaces supported by the local community, which created the foundation for our ongoing legacy.

Check out what Jenie Gao @jeniegao (Studio Residen Check out what Jenie Gao @jeniegao (Studio Residency Grant) has been up to in the studio recently!

While here, Jenie is continuing their body of work “The Negotiation Table,” where they print with hand-carved woodblocks and then transform the blocks into installations and sites of negotiation. They’re also working with letterpress to print pages for an artist’s book entitled, “Yuǎn Yuàn.” “Yuǎn Yuàn” is a collection of stories addressing land, housing, and inter-generational memory through their mother’s experience of leaving Taiwan to her current home in rural Kansas.

Create a set of your own handmade tiles and learn Create a set of your own handmade tiles and learn how to translate printmaking techniques to transform clay surfaces! Sign up today for Trading Stories Through Tile Making: Hybridizing Printmaking and Clay with Dilara Miller @vishneli. Learn how to incorporate sgraffito and intaglio techniques onto your clay surface to create a unique array of tiles that can be puzzled together. By the end of the workshop students will have a set of fired tiles to keep, and they will also take rubbings of each others’ tiles!

*Only 1 spot left!* Classes run Thursdays from 5-7 PM June 19 to July 24. Link in bio to learn more or register.

While we work on our new and improved studio, our ceramic program is setting up camp on the back deck outside of the silkscreen studio! In case of inclement weather, the outdoor space is shaded in the afternoon and evening and has a covering adequate to provide shelter from light rain. In case of a heavy rain storm, winds, or thunderstorms, class will be rescheduled at the instructor’s discretion for the listed make-up date.
