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 (2020–2024), I taught students and trained assistants in a custom 850 square foot space designed and constructed for hanji making, instruction, and art display. In 2019, I also built a papermaking studio for Oberlin College Libraries in a former group shower/changing room, where I sometimes teach my hanji retreats.

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

Currently I work from a home studio east of Cleveland.
