Little Beast Press is Vermont based book artist and printmaker, Jamie Lynn Schilling.
Using various media including letterpress, silk-screening, hand embroidery, and bookbinding, she creates
2D & 3D works that are political on the personal level, that find larger meaning in the smallest of details and
that celebrate the ordinary.
Jamie also works as a teaching artist, designing workshops and residencies in which participants are encouraged not just as artists, but as story tellers and active members of the community,
be it the classroom, neighborhood, or beyond.
Jamie’s work as an educator and an artist stem from the same core set of beliefs in the power of story-telling,
the value of asking questions, and that true learning occurs through experience.
Jamie received her BA in psychology, education and social work from Warren Wilson College in 2005. In addition to working as an independent teaching artist, she’s taught workshops and designed curriculum for several of Philadelphia’s arts organizations including the Philadelphia Center for the Book, Spiral Q Puppet Theater, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, the Mural Arts Big Picture Program, and the Arden Theater. After many years of working as a self-taught artist, Jamie received a MFA degree in Book Arts and Printmaking from the University of the Arts in 2011.
She currently works out of a retired sheep barn and is the arts educator at Marlboro Elementary School.
