This Coronavirus situation has us all scrambling to figure out not only our new work situations, but also our creative connections. One of the pieces of printing that I really like is the chance to visit others practicing the craft in their studios, commercial shops, classrooms, working museums, community print shops, or kitchen table press rooms. It looks like that’s not going to be possible for a while. Luckily, a small team has put together a series of online studio visits called “United in Isolation”. On Saturdays they host 1-4 printers from around the world, each talking for about 20 minutes. You get a quick tour of the printer’s workspaces and equipment, and an opportunity to see some of their work they are creating. It’s a chance to “visit” people involved in printing all over the world!
