Wowweeee. Been a while since I’ve been on social media. Hi again everyone 👋 I’m cooking up some things for the Fall 🍂

Thank you!! 🥳🎉🎂🎈6️⃣

Deadline to apply to Access 2 Arts (A2A) is today, March 28 at 5:00 p.m.! A2A is a 3-month artist-led program that provides space and resources for artists with developmental disAbilities to explore printmaking techniques and develop their artistic practice. otherwisestudios.com/pages/access...

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. ❤️

Applications for Access 2 Arts (A2A) can be done online, and are due by March 28. Priority will be given to applicants who benefit from 1:1 support and artists in the Guelph-Wellington region. Artists will be paid an honorarium for the exhibition and print book. otherwisestudios.com/pages/access...

Open Print: April 13, 1 - 4 p.m.⁠. Join us to work on your projects, experiment, or just meet like-minded individuals! We'll be open for printmakers to pull their own editions or work away at planning your next prints at the workshop table. Register in advance: otherwisestudios.com/products/ope...

Learn introductory or advanced handbuilding skills, or both! In the clay workshop series with Noni of No Crafts, you can attend 1 class for $35 or 2 for $60 so you can choose the class that fit best to your skill level. otherwisestudios.com/products/adv...

We designed the Access 2 Arts project to be customizable. We can provide place based and individual supports to encourage artists to collaborate meaningfully. Make note of any supports you could benefit from and the team will tailor to your needs and interests! otherwisestudios.com/pages/access...

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 🌞⁠ Print by Grace.

Meet the instructor of upcoming Clay Handbuilding Series! Noni Vatish of No Crafts is a QBIPOC ceramic and stained glass artist. Her work is deeply rooted in the celebration of her inner child and the joy it brings others. Peep Noni's workstation here & register: otherwisestudios.com/products/int...
