The Following the Thread art residency Kickstarter is officially live and I’m super excited to share it with you. Even better, this artist residency project is already fully funded on day one!
This campaign gathers the work of my summer studio residency into a focused collection you can hold in your hands. It’s about more than just finished art, it’s about showing the threads of process, experimentation, and play that run through everything I make.
What’s in the Kickstarter for Handmade Art Lovers
The rewards are designed to reflect both the spirit of the residency and the joy of tangible art objects:
- Free Digital Folio – available to everyone, a visual record of the residency.
- Phone Wallpaper and Digital Collage Sheet – A digital keepsake pack.
- Quarter-Letter Mini Zine – small but packed with images and notes.
- 5×7 Postcard Prints – perfect for keeping or sending.
- Fine Art Prints (8×12″) – high-quality reproductions of selected works.
- 32-Page Full-Color Catalog Brochure – printed version of the folio, beautifully bound.
Each reward is a different way of experiencing the project, whether as a digital download, a collectible print, or an original handmade piece from my studio.
Why “Following the Thread”?
This residency has been about staying curious, exploring materials, and letting one idea lead naturally to the next. Following the Thread became both the guiding theme and the name for this self-directed artist residency project.
