In 2017 Frederick announced Reading Road Studio in Silver Spring, MD. The studio offers an intimate collaborative experience for artists interested in works in and on paper, artist books, installation works, and critical conversations about visual and cultural literacy. It features a hand papermaking studio for the production of papermaking as an art form offering master classes and collaborative sessions for artists who want to explore the possibilities of using papermaking as a translucent material, painterly or dimensional experience for their work. Dialogs about contemporary art that honor past traditions while inventing new concepts of materiality are always alive at Reading Road Studio.
Artist collaborations have included Buzz Spector, Randi Reiss-McCormack, Ellen Hill, Preston Sampson, Nancy Sausser, Elzbieta Sikoska, Sharon Fishel, Lisa Shreirer, Erin Devine, Maria Barbosa, Susan Firestone, Elsabe Johnson Dixon, Cheryl Edwards, Aziza Gibson Hunter, Andrea McCluskey, Tara Sabharwal, Mary Ting, Phil Qian, Soledad Salame’, Chris Mona, and William B. Adair. Visit Facebook and Instagram to view more photos of artist collaborations.
