ANEMONE is a collaboration and artist initiative by Amelia Greenhall and Adam Greenhall based in the Pacific Northwest. We work on a wide range of things: publishing, printing, consulting, research, software development, design, mapmaking, sewing pattern production, and other projects. Our website is anemone.studio!
We love publishing small books, zines and booklets — often on themes of how-to, nature, maps, cooking and eating, finances, and the climate crisis. You can find our print publications in the Riso Bookstore, and digital publications here. This newsletter often covers our studio process about designing, risograph printing, and assembling artist publications.
We also make Spectrolite, a free Mac desktop app to make colorful 🌈 risograph prints and zines more easily.
We write about the new features in Spectrolite and also about the process of designing and coding an app as an art project.
What else is in this newsletter?
We use this newsletter as a place for having fun writing and photos: a bit like a blog where anything we want to write about goes in — sometimes that’s notes on mountain climbing, biking, recipes, and other little essays. So it really could be anything… but here are the big three themes that repeat in many newsletters:
🌟 studio process — reflecting on what we’re working on, tools that we’re using, what needs to change, money and projects and how it all feels
🌟 recs — notes on things we’re reading, watching, cooking, and buying, and links to things of interest
🌟 announcements — we’ll let you know when new publications, artist residencies, calls for participation and other projects are available, and highlight events (often Seattle / Pacific Northwest)
If you don’t like emails, you can also read via RSS! Just add it to a feed reader.
