About the Teacher: Kristen Law Lewis was bitten by the book-bug in the last semester of her undergrad Studio Art studies at University of Colorado. She’s made all kinds of books since - founding Papercuts Press in 2005. She later pursued artifact conservation, a second love, and earned a degree in Museum Studies. Kristen mixes her time between sculpture, bookmaking, teaching, and caring for museum collections. She has taught bookbinding classes since 2010, and loves every minute of it! "My artistic process is rooted in a connection to (and study of) nature, melding scientific and spiritual habits - like observing and collecting. My work is largely driven by the materials and the process. I love the challenge of physically incorporating something special into what I make. Upcycling, repurposing, and reducing waste are key interests in my studio practice. I think a lot about where things come from, and where they are going. I am enamored with material objects... modifying their past significance to construct a relevance for them today." papercutspress.com
