Why this artist matters now

Katie Baldwin is an American printmaker and book artist specializing in mokuhanga and letterpress. Mokuhanga is the contemporary application of traditional Japanese water-based woodblock printing techniques. Baldwin was first introduced to mokuhanga as a student at the Evergreen State College, where she graduated with a BA in 1994. Baldwin's journey with letterpress began in the 90s in Olympia in a printer's garage letterpress studio and expanded when she shared a studio with Amber Bell and other doers and makers at 508 Legion Way, the origins of Community Print. Community Print continues to be a member-run, community- supported printmaking studio and creative space operating in downtown Olympia, Washington for over 25 years.
