Join Justin LaGuff and learn how to plan, design, and create a zine with linocuts while collaborating with others! Each participant will design and carve their own linoblock, which will in turn be printed on the same zine so that everyone can go home with a copy. otherwisestudios.com/products/lin...

Access 2 Arts will culminate in an artist-led print book and exhibition of the artwork created over the course of the program! Each participant will receive a copy of the book, and other copies will be distributed across the city for community to enjoy. otherwisestudios.com/pages/access...

Just a studio corner appreciation post! I'm working on a collab with ceramicist Alyssa Marie, which is currently holding paintbrushes in front of a community banner, created at Jude Akrey's Artist Talk "From One Queer to Another" a couple years ago. I love this community. ❤️

We used scrap papers in a 1:1 class to mask parts of the lino that the artist didn't want printed. 6 colours later, and there's both a beautiful print and gorgeous process work.⁠ I love what happens when the process creates unexpected artwork! P.s. we hope you have a good day 🌞⁠
