BIWOC Residency at Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum (2025)

Published June 25, 2025

Two weeks at Hamilton @hamiltonwoodtypewith dear friends and fellow letterpress printers @jenngravesand @beingblount — what a gift!

We kicked things off before the residency started by attending the the @collegebookart conference, which filled us with energy and inspiration for exploring new processes and forms, and print and book structure ideas, for the residency ahead.

I returned to printing poetry, and started ideating for a couple books I am working on for an upcoming exhibit in the fall.

Loved playing with color and shape again, getting back on a Vandercook, and trying the larger presses for the first time!

Grateful for the time to create, slow down, and be in community with Jenn and Melissa. 🙏🏽✨

It was also so special to see how many came out for our artist talk. Grateful for the opportunity to talk about our work and what matters to us. What an engaging evening that was!

🗣️ ✨ An ultra loud thank you to @hello.stephanie@abslovesmuseums @ginatk @jenannetastic_outthere - they (and the amazing volunteers!) are the heart and soul that keeps this place running. We felt your care and support deeply throughout our residency. 💓

Excited to see what continues to unfold as a result of our time and play here. ✨

Farewell, Hamilton! See you at the #Wayzgoose in November!!
