Three years later\, Kumi Korf was the first artist to have her work published by Olive Branch Press\, a set of three chine collé intaglio prints titled “Letters to the Planet” featuring Kumi’s writings\, with Christa as her master printer. Thus\, began almost a quarter century of friendship and collaboration\, with many hours spent at the etching press in Kumi’s studio\, cooking in her kitchen\, travelling together in Japan\, always side by side telling stories. Though they were born and raised in separate homelands\, their intuitive reactions to art and life are overlapping. This exhibition is the first time their works have been shown side by side\, just the two of them.

For this exhibition\, Kumi Korf gathered nine women artists\, sent them kimonos and invited them to create artwork with the garments as the catalyst. Though the kimono itself seems a precious work of art\, the prompt was to “be free”; an invitation to adventure\, playful chaos\, a brave step into the unknown.

It was a critique of the waste and inequality inherent in the capitalist system exacerbated by the Industrial Revolution. A new relationship between man and machine was born and Morris felt the need to sound the alarm bell. While he did not object to the use of machines to ease and assist labor\, he was concerned about the potential of new technology to replace skilled labor. He worried about out quality of life and in particular the sense of satisfaction and pleasure derived from meaningful work. This exhibit will examine our relationship to various forms of technology as creative tools. Industrial revolution era machines such as the printing press\, jacquard loom\, and knitting machines are still in use today. Can we express ourselves creatively and with a satisfactory level of craftsmanship and artistic expression using machines vs creating things wholly by hand? How does technology change the creative process? And what of the looming technology of our era? What are the dangers and benefits of artificial intelligence to the creative process and to the skilled labor of today? \n \n \n \n \n \n Participating artists:Melissa Conroy • Pamela Drix • Leslie Ford • Aileen Holmes • Craig Mains • Elizabeth Meiklejohn • Margo Mensing • Daniel Preston • Laura Robert • Laura Rowley • Werner Sun • Anna Warfield • Julia K Wright \n  URL:https://ink-shop.org/event/useful-work-vs-useless-toil/ CATEGORIES:Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ink-shop.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Useful-Labor-vs-Useless-Toil-Image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241101 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250123 DTSTAMP:20260513T141307 CREATED:20240829T175620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241101T130516Z UID:5293-1730419200-1737590399@ink-shop.org SUMMARY:2024 Member Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Nov 1\, 2024 – Jan 22\, 2025\nOpening Reception\, November 1\, 2024\, 5-8pm\n \nEach year\, The Ink Shop launches a Members’ show\, giving our membership the opportunity to exhibit their newest work.

It is an act of noticing-things often missed– corners in stairwells\, lingering hands\, and dreams forgotten by the morning. To reach-into a lake is to extend a hand to something new\, see one’s own reflection and the way it is broken up by-ripples\, and come out different. Likewise\, this selection of prints can act as a reflecting pool for the-viewer to consider their own life and memories\, and leave a little bit different. \nLindsey Potoff is a printmaker from Michigan. She received her BFA from Cornell University in 2022\,-and is currently attending the University of Connecticut for her MFA. Her work acts as a collection of-comforts\, a method of notetaking on life as it passes\, and a recognition of the remnant feelings in-between. She has worked as an art educator for children and young adults and now regularly participates-in fairs and festivals such as the Ann Arbor Original Street Art Fair\, the Peninsular Printmaker Fair\, and-Ithaca Festival.

The works in Hodophilia are inspired by physical and psychic journeys: navigating labyrinthian footpaths on the island of Skopelos\, Greece; climbing the sun-scorched hills of Santa Cruz\, CA; and hiking in New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains. \nWhat happens when you travel? Ideally\, you step away from workaday cares\, emails\, leaky faucets\, and sweeping the driveway. You can remake yourself\, not only as a person without these trappings but also as someone full of curiosity\, open to new opportunities\, with fresh eyes to take in the world. These fresh eyes\, along with a sturdy pair of shoes and a cell phone\, help me build and maintain my studio practice; I use memory\, impression\, and my experiences as a traveler to cobble together an invented\, non-traditional landscape.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sarah Smelser has been an artist in residence at Vermont Studio Center; Franz Masereel Center\, Artica Bilbao\, Kala Art Institute\, Jentel Artist Residency\, Skopelos Foundation for the Arts\, Anchor Graphics\, Ballinglen Arts Foundation\, Tamarind Institute\, and Remarque Print Workshop. In 2022 she was a research associate at the Contemporary Print Media Research Center at University of California Santa Cruz. Her work is in such collections as Readers’ Digest Association\, New York Public Library\, Library of Congress\, Hallmark Corporate Collection\, Microsoft Corporate Collection\, and Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Smelser has had solo exhibitions in venues such as Bridgewater/Lustberg & Blumenfeld in New York City\, Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York City\, Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids\, and the LUX Center for the Arts in Omaha.

Artists explore techniques like photo lithography\, photo-screenprinting\, photopolymer intaglio\, and alternative photographic processes\, among others\, embracing hybrid approaches to image-making. \nWith a focus on experimentation and material exploration\, the works included in this exhibit push beyond traditional methods\, layering photographic and print-based techniques to create work that is both technically refined and conceptually compelling. \nExposed & Impressed explores the alchemy of process: the unpredictable\, the tactile\, and the transformative. \nImage above: Sophie Lin Paper Lanterns (photo litho and screen print). Esther Jung and Soraya Jabir Malleable Walls (cyanotype\, cotton fabric) \nParticipating artists: \nNEBA\nEsther Jung\nSophie Lin\nCarlin Dypko\nBradley Verhelle\nElla Kirlew\nAseel Albokhari\nAngelina Rappa\nPhoebe Finkel\nAnton Nazarenko\nKatelyn Yun\nJack Clauss\nSoraya Jabir URL:https://ink-shop.org/event/exposed-and-impressed/ LOCATION:Ink Shop Printmaking Center Studio Gallery\, 330 E.

The unsettled state of the world currently is a backdrop for exploring the parallel forward and backward movement of cycles of creation and destruction. \nDrawn to the CMYK screenprinting method\, Kat layers color as a way to map the complexities of perception and thought and is obsessed with incorporating textiles\, whether physical or implied. “I stitch together the fragments of the inner and outer worlds that I move through.” This body of work consists of sheer curtains layered with hand-drawn screenprinted plaid prints and images of a particularly important moment of self-reflection. \nDrawing each line in the plaid is a repetitive action that reflects the repetitive nature of screenprinting. This repetitive process has also revealed itself as a personal coping mechanism for my own navigation of obsessive thought patterns. As I layer the controlled patterns of plaid with the layers of an image of a natural space\, I consider the notion of how obsessive thoughts work in tandem against the natural flowing of changes in one’s environment. No matter how much you extract each layer of obsessive thoughts\, the patterns of self-realization eventually emerge. \n  URL:https://ink-shop.org/event/repeat-jessica-warner-kat-moore/ CATEGORIES:Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ink-shop.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Jessica-Kat@0.25x.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260403 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260523 DTSTAMP:20260513T141308 CREATED:20260325T135823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T203908Z UID:6785-1775174400-1779494399@ink-shop.org SUMMARY:I See You 2026 | Ithaca College and Cornell University Printmakers DESCRIPTION:I See You 2026 | Ithaca College and Cornell University Printmakers\n\n\n\nOpening Reception April 3rd\, 2026 5-8pm\nShowing April 3rd – May 22nd\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI See You showcases the talent of printmaking students from Ithaca College and Cornell University\, featuring a diverse range of printmaking techniques\, including relief\, intaglio\, and screenprinting providing a glimpse into the breadth and depth of the discipline. \nAbove: I See You 2025 | Ithaca College and Cornell University Printmaker installation URL:https://ink-shop.org/event/i-see-you-2026-ithaca-college-and-cornell-university-printmakers/ CATEGORIES:Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ink-shop.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Ink-Shop-2025-I-See-You-.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
