January Studio Insider Newsletter!
/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 each 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!

LEARN + MAKE
Come in and make things!
Open Studio Sessions for January are posted! Members can reserve their spots in a session by purchasing it on our website.
Members-Only Studio Passes are up for January and February! There are only 4 per month — if you know you’re going to want to come in and work a lot in one of these months, this is the best deal with the least planning required!
Workshops from now through March are posted on our website. Our workshops are the best value on instruction at the studio, especially with the discount members get according to their membership level. Plus, you’ll build a weekly routine of working in the studio and learn with an intimate group of other folks who are just as pumped about paper as you are.
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.
