Howard Community College’s Visual Arts Department presents our

2026 Summer Visiting Artist - Zofia Chamera

Zofia Chamera earned her BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2020 and her MFA in Studio Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in 2022. Chamera’s foundation is in traditional mediums such as clay, wax, and bronze, however she began exploring handmade paper and how it can be applied to sculpture. She is constantly pushing the structural boundaries of this medium and with that challenging the conflict of fine art versus craft.

Chamera currently serves as Adjunct Faculty teaching Historic Papermaking at MICA and as a Papermaking Associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, maintaining both papermaking studios. Her work has been shown in the National Sculpture Society Gallery in Manhattan, New York as well as local galleries in Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA. Most notably, she was selected to participate in the Lucca Biennale Outdoor Exhibition in Tuscany, Italy and the IMADATE Art Field Residency in Echizen, Japan.

Join Zofia Chamera for a hands-on, one-day papermaking workshop that invites students and community members alike to explore the art of handmade paper. This welcoming studio experience offers a chance to slow down and discover the fundamentals of papermaking—from preparing pulp to pulling, pressing, and drying your own sheets.  Experiment with natural materials and the creative potential of one-of-a-kind papers that can stand alone as artworks or serve as the foundation for future creative projects. No prior experience is necessary—bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment. By the end of this workshop, you’ll leave with a collection of handmade papers and the knowledge to continue exploring this rewarding and tactile process on your own.

By participating in this program, participants grant the college permission to photograph, record, or otherwise document them and their work.  Images and likeness by be used in print, digital, and other communications for promotional or educational purposes.
