Jessica C. White (she/her) spent her childhood transported by storybooks and fairytales while growing up in Taiwan. Following a career in academics as the Professor of Printmaking and Chair of the Art Department at Warren Wilson College, she is now a studio artist in Asheville, NC, where she makes prints, books, and crankies. Her work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in many artist books collections including Yale University, Stanford University, Lingnan University Hong Kong, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her publications include Letterpress Now: A DIY Guide to New & Old Printing Methods, published by Lark Crafts, and Ladies of Letterpress: A Gallery of Prints with 80 Removable Posters, published by Princeton Architectural Press. She is the co-founder of Ladies of Letterpress, an international trade organization of women printers, is a member of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild and is currently the President of the Wood Engravers’ Network. Fancy degrees she holds include a BFA in sculpture from East Carolina University, an MA and MFA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa, and a Graduate Certificate in Book Arts from the UIowa Center for the Book. When she's not getting inky in the studio, you can find her catching a breeze in her sailboat Cassiopeia.
