Workshop Residence

In 2015, Ellen and Snips temporarily bid Brooklyn farewell for San Francisco to participate in an artist-in-residence program at Workshop Residence. The program—which invites artists and designers to create products using resources from the Bay Area—allowed Ellen to work extensively with plexiglass and resin, materials outside of the normal Dusen Dusen wheelhouse. During her 6 week long stay at Workshop Residence, Ellen explored a single print through various mediums, resulting in a diverse set of objects: a small apparel capsule sewn from digitally printed fabric, a table and checkers set made of laser cut plexiglass and clear resin, and screen printed vinyl placemats that create a new, layered pattern when stacked.
