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 two workshops on Suminagashi – The Japanese Art of Floating Ink. Register on the library’s calendar of events if you would like to attend!

Mel will be at The Hive through December, 2024.
