Centered around the importance of giving and receiving community feedback to create a rich body of work, this class is open to any current Highpoint co-op members who are interested in going through the critique process with any ongoing print projects. Each class, participants will have a chance to pin up work and ask for feedback on what would be most helpful to them. Armed with coffee and snacks, together we will develop a comfortable environment to have positive and meaningful conversations around each person’s work. These critiques will be balanced against putting time into writing, developing, and editing artist statements that can be used in applications or anywhere to promote your work and artistic practice. By communally working together, this class can hopefully be used as a space to further augment your studio time and talk about risks and new directions in your work.
About the instructor: Savannah Bustillo (she/her) is a queer Latinx printmaker and book artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Often through language games, her work takes small, discarded objects, sounds, and movements that seem silent and insignificant and reemphasizes them. Most recently, this has turned to studying histories of food in and around the US, explored during a 2021-2022 Jerome Early Career Printmaker Residency and Highpoint Center for Printmaking, where she continues to create work after receiving the 2022 Next Step Grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. She has helped teach workshops and demos in printmaking and book arts at Washington University in St. Louis, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Women’s Studio Workshop, Fireweed Community Woodshop, and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, where she actively teaches book arts and was selected as a finalist for the 2022 MCBA Prize.
