Editing Memories with Kyung Eun You
Aug 03, 2018
As Kyung Eun You prints, she weaves complex narratives together in a simplified grid. But a simple format is the most effective way to deliver her compelling stories about family, memory, and philosophical mysticism. Her personal and imaginary chronicle is etched into the linoleum squares, mythologized block by block as she reconstructs important moments… View Article
Holding Patterns: Fafnir Adamites
Jul 20, 2018
Growing up in Western Massachusetts, Fafnir Adamites would never have thought to call herself an artist. “I didn’t grow up in a place where being an artist was really valued or realistic, so it took me a long time to claim that term.” A wayfinder by nature, she followed a non-traditional educational path into the… View Article
Navigating the Paper Studio with Jackie Partridge
Jun 22, 2018
Soon after viewing the handmade paper of Studio Workspace Resident Jackie Partridge, I became very aware of the straight lines humans work so hard to draw on the Earth. Sidewalks, grates in a drain, lane lines, shapes of buildings and bridges, even sheets of paper. And though they are tolerated for a while, it is clear… View Article
The game’s afoot! Carol Flueckiger in the Studio
Jun 18, 2018
Carol Flueckiger is exhausted. She’s exhausted over the use of the word FREEDOM in America. She’s exhausted from teaching at Texas Tech University in classrooms where conceal and carry is law. She’s tired of flowery language and historical studies of heroic decisions that aren’t decisions at all. She’s exhausted with artist statements that are all… View Article
No Direction Home: The Life & Work of Zarina
Jul 11, 2014
WSW’s 2014 gala honoree maps her life, makes a home in paper & print Zarina Hashmi‘s printed lines run like scars across her paper’s surface, cleaving space, creating borders, and telling stories.

The Tiny Universe of Women’s Studio Workshop
May 15, 2014
Five months ago (or eleven, if you’re a certain admin intern), we stepped onto Binnewater Lane, feeling excited but disoriented. We moved into the Anne Atwood house, a Women’s Studio Workshop-owned property just two doors down from the studio. Before long, WSW became our home away from home. We celebrated Easter with the founders, discussed… View Article
Karen J. Revis in the Land of Happy Accidents
May 09, 2014
Even as a student, workspace resident Karen J. Revis was doing things her way: adding wax to her paint and eschewing brushes and canvas for palette knives and plexi. She wanted to get in there and push paint around, she wanted to be engulfed in a process. “It’s always been about the materials,” says Karen, who… View Article

Nanette Yannuzzi: The Private & the Political
Apr 23, 2014
When Nanette Yannuzzi arrived at WSW, she visited Rosendale’s antique and vintage shops, where digging around in piles of linens yielded a small stash of old, hand-stitched handkerchiefs, tablecloths, and napkins–a nice supplement to the four- or five-dozen found and gifted linens she brought with her from Ohio. On one side of the silkscreen studio,… View Article
