Studio Insider: Keeping you on top of the good stuff

If you are receiving this email, it is because you are an active part of our Miami studio’s ecosystem!

DATES + NEWS

A real picture of the Baby, who is Very Cool

Announcements:

Tropic Bound was incredible — we came away with full hearts and even fuller bookshelves. If you didn’t make it to Tropic Bound, you may not yet be aware: Ingrid is due to give birth to a baby girl in March!

As you can imagine, she’s hard at work preparing for parenthood, and we are all hard at work preparing to run this studio with much less hands-on help from her for a little while.

This means that for the next couple of months, we’re going to ask for your patience and support in getting us through!

What to expect from us:

  • Screenprinting projects and instruction are going to have slower turn-around times

  • Communications in general will be a little slower than average, especially direct messages to Ingrid.

How to support the studio when we need it the most:

  • Come in and shop for paper! (and/or ink, carving tools, sharpening tools, linen thread, blades, bone folders, or any other pro-quality print and book tools)

  • Book some studio time with Brooke. We’ve got lots of availability on the etching presses and the bookbinding tools. This is a great time to get an introduction to either.

  • Sign up for a workshop! We’ve got some new ones in this newsletter and a few other new ones in the works.

Here are the studio:

  • Friday, February 21st, 6-9PM: Member Night: Three free hours of Open Studio, monitored by Ingrid Schindall. This is your chance to pick her brain on all kinds of shop talk — come with questions about ink and paper! Consider Member Night Ingrid’s drop-in office hours.

  • Still Waters is the new exhibition on view in the Contemporary Wing of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum. It was curated by Amanda Morgan and features highlights from the permanent collection.

  • Friday, March 14th, 6-9PM: ANOTHER Member Night! Three more free hours of Open Studio, this time monitored by Brooke Frank. Brooke will be hanging out ready to chat with you about your work and your goals for it.

Upcoming Deadlines:

  • Deadline for Spare Change Portfolio Exchange is April 1st — if you want to work on your exchange portfolio here, get in touch ASAP.

TROPIC BOUND IS ALMOST HERE:

February 6-9, Tropic Bound Artists’ Book Fair is taking over Miami’s Design District. This international fair, co-founded by Ingrid Schindall, Sarah Michelle Rupert, and Cristina Favretto, is a huge labor of love for us. The whole Miami P&Pr team will be all-hands-on-deck for the fair, so please anticipate some communication delays and a heavily booked schedule from now until February 10th.

If you know you will need some support from us (project planning, assisted studio time, private instruction, etc.) please reach out ASAP so we can figure it out.

Want to get involved with Tropic Bound? Sign up to volunteer! Being a part of the team that makes it all happen is the best way to get to know all of the teams and exhibitors.

Just want to come and see what it’s all about? Pencil us in! The fair is free to attend.

Special Edition: Sneak Peak at being a Studio Insider

Every month, we send a special Studio Insider newsletter out to the folks who are an active part of our Miami studio’s ecosystem! The purpose of this newsletter is to keep our Studio Insiders (studio members, staff, interns, and resident artists) in the loop on what’s happening at the studio in the coming month. It’s meant to be a bare-bones rundown to help you maximize your studio time and help you stay on top of deadlines, deals, and events. This email only goes out to the folks who we know might need it. Keep an eye out for it in your inbox!

This month, we’re sending it as our main newsletter, too! With Miami Art Week right around the corner and the holidays arriving in full force, we figure:

  1. Nobody has time to read a whole long thing

  2. A nuts-and-bolts email telling you what’s happening and when is supremely useful to everyone on our email lists right now!

If you love this very practical newsletter, you can become a studio insider by getting involved here! Become a member or apply for a residency or internship as soon as you’re ready.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Studio hours are going to be tight and limited until 2025. We have a lot of work to do and a fat stack of deadlines, as well as a number of reasons we will not be in the studio. Please anticipate that ideas for new projects or existing projects with deadlines later than Dec. 8 will likely be subject to communication delays. We should be back to normal(ish) come mid-December.

We will be closed on the following dates:

  • Thurs, Nov 28 (Thanksgiving)

  • Fri, Nov. 29

  • Dec. 2-8 — By appointment only. Email info@isprojectsfl.com to make an appointment. Please give us 24 hours to review your request.

Two copies of Our First Portfolio exchange, Under the Sun. One Copy is is open to reveal the Holographic front of the colophon, and The first two prints, in the box. The first, left, is by Christian Feneck, and the second, right, is by Brian Butler.

PORTFOLIO EXCHANGE SIGN-UP DEADLINE IS NOV. 30!

What’s a portfolio exchange?

A portfolio exchange is a tradition in the print world. There is often a unifying theme or set of constraints proposed, and a list of artists are invited to participate. Every artist who participates will submit an edition of prints in the specified quantity, and in exchange, will receive back one print from every edition submitted by every artist participating.

This tradition is all about community and sharing, and is one of the coolest ways for artists to collect work from (and make work for!) other artists with whom they have something in common.

So what’s the deal with this exchange?

In this case, the official exchange invite will go out to a long list of artists who have been involved here at the studio since our last exchange. This includes all studio members, interns, and artists-in-residence since after our last exchange invitation went out. The invitations for this exchange were sent via email on Nov. 18th from brooke@isprojectsfl.com

If you didn’t receive that email and you want to participate in this year’s exchange, become a studio member!

The details:

The title of the exchange: Spare Change

Print Size: 11x14”

Edition Size: We’ll know how large the editions need to be once we have a headcount.

I’m already a Studio Insider and this sounds awesome! What do I do?

Studio Insider: Keeping you on top of the good stuff

If you are receiving this email, it is because you are an active part of our Miami studio’s ecosystem! The purpose of this newsletter is to keep our Studio Insiders (studio members, staff, interns, and resident artists) in the loop on what’s happening at the studio in the coming month. It’s meant to be a bare-bones run down to help you maximize your studio time and help you stay on top of deadlines, deals, and events. This email only goes out to the folks who we know might need it. Keep an eye out for it in your inbox!

DATES + NEWS

The Big News:

We have been hard at work on a few huge projects lately, but it’s finally time to start spreading the word:

After 10 years of making prints and books with artists as IS Projects, we are changing the name. Welcome to life as a part of the community of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum!

Functionally, this won’t change too much about the services you’ve already come to know and love from us, but there will be a few new ways we can serve you, and a few more things we do that we’re doubling down on. The specifics will be announced by the time of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum’s Grand Opening party. All the more reason to make sure you swing by!

We’ve got a lot still to do to get everything ready for these events at the end of the month, so we’ll be grateful for all of the grace and patience you can spare on responding to emails. Of course, if you need us quickly, you can always give us a call at the studio phone number (305) 646-1065 and we can get some of the quicker questions handled more quickly.

Otherwise… Come see it all for yourself!

The Big Dates:

  • Sept. 27th, 6-8PM: Reception for Galaxias Kyklos in the Contemporary Wing of the Museum

    The inaugrural exhibition for the Contemporary Wing of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum will be the Museum’s very first public event, occurring 2 days before the grand opening.

    The Contemporary Wing will kick off it’s programming with the exhibition of the Galaxias Kyklos suite of etchings. These intricate etchings by Carol Prusa and printed by Kim Spivey of Ground printmaking were produced in a very limited run. This event will also offer a sneak-preview of the rest of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum, and will technically take place on the true IS Projects 10 Year Anniversary.

  • Sept. 29th, 12-4PM: Grand Opening of the Miami Paper & Printing Museum

    This is the big event! Bring your friends and family and celebrate with us. We’re planning some live printing and snacks and expecting lots of loved ones and great vibes.

    At this event, we will be debuting the newly installed Permanent Collection, curated by Beth Sheehan, as well as debuting our Museum Store, which will be launching as one of the best places in Miami to buy professional book and printmaking supplies, as well as a selection of handcrafted paper goods, artists’ books, prints, and zines.


 

Oh and one last thing about events:

  • You still have time to sign up to have a table at Small Press Fair (Nov 9th and 10th)
    Small Press Fair 2024 is coming up FAST! If you would like to secure a table for yourself or a group you’re a part of, head over to the SPF website and sign up now. SPF is a great way to meet other print/book/zine makers and enthusiasts, and to share and sell the things you love to make. If you don’t want to have a table this year but still want to get involved, follow SPF on Instagram @spfftl and join the email list at the bottom of this page so you don’t miss the call for volunteers. SPF is only possible because of the love of the community.

LEARN + MAKE

 

We’ve also got NEW WORKSHOPS!

We have three different 4-week courses planned for October, so if you’ve been looking for a good time to take the plunge into a book binding, screenprinting, or fine art printmaking on the etching press, then the time has arrived! These are the only long courses we will be able to offer for the rest of the year, so if you want to get serious about one of these techniques before 2025, this is your chance to learn (and split the cost of learning) with a small group of other artists.

 

Private workshops for custom goals

If these don’t work for your schedule, of course, you’re not totally out of luck. You can add any of our Private Instruction workshops to your cart and check out to book a 4 hour workshop that works for you. We’ll reach out to schedule your private workshop ASAP. If you want to set up Private Instruction for something a little more off-the-beaten-path, you can still absolutely do so through this link. Members: You get 20% off on all Private Instruction! Search your emails from us for your code. If you’re purchasing through the website, use your member code at checkout.

  • Especially exciting in January: check out Ingrid’s Modern Letterpress course — this rare and special opportunity to learn to print on the Vandercooks is not something you’ll want to miss. Access to letterpress facilities is very special, and opportunities to learn to use them are few and far between. Letterpress is the technological foundation of modern literacy and self-publishing, yielding many of the strategies for resistance and critical collaborative practices in print that we still see at work today. Letterpress printers are all over the world, forming a tight network of friends and colleagues with a wildly diverse set of objectives, and united by their common love of chasing their dreams with machines. If it’s something you’re interested in learning about, this is your best opportunity to do so in South Florida. Don’t sleep on it — reach out to Brooke at brooke@isprojectsfl.com if you have any questions.
