Health Resources

C.W.H.C. :: The Chicago Women's Health Center is women making health care accessible. This place is so awesome, sometimes it's hard to believe it exists.

The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health :: Harry Finley is one of my heroes, and he should be one of yours too. Mr. Finley started and continues to maintain the Museum of Menstruation, which was originally located in his home from 1994-1998, but can now be found online. Take the time to sift through this site, and you will be amazed. The fact that this collection hasn't been turned into a government-funded museum is a direct indication of how "mum" menstruation remains in our society.

Our Bodies, Ourselves :: The Boston Women's Health Book Collective, a great book and organization that's been around since 1970.


Printmaking Resources

No Media Kings :: How To Silkscreen Posters and Shirts, a home screen printing tutorial! I've found this very helpful and informative to my lack of formal training. By Shannon Gerard.

Pyramid Atlantic Art Center :: This is an amazing resource for printmakers, book binders, and paper makers near the DC area. They offer a communal studio space, residencies, gallery exhibitions, classes, a great volunteer program that earns you free studio use, and more. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Spudnik Press :: Here is another excellent resource for printmakers located in Chicago. Spudnik is a cooperative community printshop that offers open studio space, classes and workshops, gallery exhibitions, and residencies. It also happens to be very affordable and approachable.
