My studio is equipped for Korean and European papermaking, with additional tools for Japanese papermaking. The first hanji studio that I built (in 2010) is at the Morgan Conservatory, equipped for two sizes of hanji making with the first fully stainless-steel naginata in the U.S., custom built by David Reina. In my second Cleveland-area studio, I taught students and trained assistants.

I support Korean diaspora students, including those with adoptee, multi-racial, international, and Korean as a second language backgrounds. Korea has no formal programs to learn hanji making in depth, especially for those who do not speak Korean, so I offered a week-long hanji retreat from 2022–2024. Other places that have incorporated a hanji vat into their studio spaces include Dieu Donné, Women’s Studio Workshop, Wells College Book Arts Center, and private studios run by past students.

Currently I am at work on building a third private hanji studio east of Cleveland.
