Studio Insider Newsletter: April
/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 TO REMEMBER
Paper mold with watermark of a poem from Ingrid’s O, Miami Papermaking Project last year — a great taste of what you can expect from O, Paper Mill this year.
April is O, Miami Poetry Festival!
And this year, we’re more involved than ever. Ingrid’s project, O, Paper Mill, will take place over the course of the whole month of April. O, Paper Mill brings papermaking, bookbinding, and poetic journaling practices to Miami through an intensive fellowship program and a series of public workshops and demos.
A few more events are still cookin’, but the following events will feature O, Paper Mill pop-ups activations where you can make paper with the O, Paper Mill fellows:
April 5: In Miami, I’m Happier: Education Showcase. Make paper, enjoy a performance by the Carol City Marching Chiefs, and of course, poetry readings by all kinds of Miamians
April 13: O, Paper Mill Bookbinding Workshop. Keep your eyes peeled — it will be published on O, Miami’s events page soon. This workshop will take place at IS Projects.
April 24: Zip Odes Finale at Vizcaya Late. The O, Paper Mill fellows will be on site making paper during the reading and reception for the Zip Odes finalists. (You have until April 18th to submit your own Zip Ode!)

LEARN + MAKE
Come in and make things!
Open Studio Sessions from now through April are posted! Members can reserve their spots in a session by purchasing it on our website.
Members-Only Studio Passes are now 30 day passes that start when you want them to start! We can only support 4 Studio Passes at a time — 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!
New workshops through June 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.
