There is something for everyone in the world of printmaking, and we have a very special workshop this coming weekend for those of you who are drawn to the experimental, the tactile, and the unconventional. From 10AM to 4PM on Sunday, October 16, will be guiding a deep dive into making collagraphs! Collagraph plates can be made from found materials and conventional art supplies, can be inked in different ways, and typically yield small or varied editions. They are the perfect printmaking technique for anyone who wants to think out of the box, and Sammi is the perfect guide. Collagraph is one of her favorite techniques to work with and her collagraph prints are gorgeous. ⛓ link in bio ⛓ to check out our workshops and get signed up!

We're back from Italia!
Thank you so much for your patience and suggestions as we took some time to fill our eyes with art, both new and old, in a country that has played a monumental role in the foundation of what makes our business possible today (papermaking, painting, type design, far too many influences to list here). Thank you Italy, for recharging our hearts and filling us with new ideas.
Today is the 8 year anniversary of IS Projects' opening and while we had hoped to do some kind of low key festivity, Ian has encouraged us to accept the Italy trip as sufficient celebration for now.
We'll be working from home tomorrow to avoid driving around in a tropical storm but hope to be back in the studio normal hours Thursday and Friday ☔️

How we're feeling at 8 years strong ✨🕺💃✨
(Yes we know that last one is actually a portrayal of one of Niobe's children in terror as Apollo and Artemis are coming to kill them but it looks more like he's having a pretty good time to us 21st centurians, am I right?)
