artist-in-residence: Mel Antuna Hewitt

Mel Antuna Hewitt is a bookbinder. She creates art in the form of books; whether they are blank books to be filled in, books to be read, or books that make a person think “How is that even a book?” About her residency at the Hive, she says, “I’m excited to be in a space where the aura is 24/7 creativity; I’m excited to be able to harness that energy. I’m really looking forward to having a space big enough to work on pieces for my first solo art show and have the community help me out with one of them!”

Mel will be teaching a workshop on Chinese Thread Books in February. Register on the library’s calendar of events if you would like to attend!

Mel will be at The Hive through March, 2025.
