In the July 2025 issue of Pressing Matters, I write about the recovery of Print House after Hurricane Helene and how that experience made the impacts of climate change feel anything but distant. Our one story is part of a much larger narrative about the tenacity and creative force of the artist and craft community in Western North Carolina and beyond. I reflect on the studio’s journey from its early days at Riverview Station to where we are now, and how this experience has reshaped my work, deepened my practice, and reinforced my belief in the vital role creative spaces play in our communities.
