The transformation of a bathroom into a multi-purpose space
Pyramid Atlantic Art Center


In December artists Richard Lyew and Deborah Carroll Anzinger completed the In(Habit) residency at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center where they transformed a bathroom into a space that functions as an artist studio, exhibition space and sleeping quarters. Please join us for a talk they will be giving about the process.

After the talk an opening reception will be hosted in the In(Habit) space, during which the prints that Deborah completed at Pyramid will be shown.

Come and celebrate the completion of the project with us!

The 3 Best Things About Working At Pyramid

The 3 best things about working at Pyramid:
1. Everyday is a new day
2. The people, they are so committed
3. The art, always makes me stop and say "wow"

I thought that I would share some pictures with you that I took yesterday at Pyramid.

see what our intens have been up to!

For the past few weeks, our winter studio interns, Melissa Salazar and Anna Spelman, have been working on thank you notes to send out to all the wonderful people who support Pyramid Atlantic.

The project started in the paper studio, where Anna and Melissa, with the help of Maria, an intern from Swarthmore College, made paper from cotton rag. White cotton with a bit of black mixed in created a gray-blue paper the interns used for one of the thank you cards:

The girls also used white cotton rag to create a lovely thick white paper used in the rest of the cards. Different moulds and deckles created several different paper sizes, allowing for a good deal of variety in the shape and feel of the cards. After cutting the paper down to size, the interns started the letterpress process, setting type for 4 different cards.



After a long day of printing the interns had 4 styles of cards, which they went on to embellish with stitching and vellum accents.


We are very excited about how everything turned out. Keep an eye out in your mailbox...you just might be getting one of them!
