Nathanael Kooperkamp (he/him) is a printmaker, papermaker, bookmaker, and teacher. Trained as a traditional printmaker, his work spans the history of this art form while interpreting it through a digital output. Nathanael’s training and personal interests have also led him to what he considers to be the most rewarding part of the artworld–being a collaborative master printmaker. Upon completing his masters in fine arts at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Kooperkamp had the opportunity to explore the process of hand papermaking at Dieu Donne studio in Brooklyn. There he worked with artists, assisted with workshops and participated in the running of a Fine Art collaborative Paper studio. He went on to work at Cone Editions Press, where he was privileged to have the opportunity to work with artists from diverse backgrounds, supporting them in their artist vision and process–often from the germination of an idea to the final product, from the proofing to the packing. Kooperkamp’s understanding of tradition combined with contemporary technologies allowed him to expand and grow the studio’s ability and output. He now brings this enthusiasm to Prints on Paper Studio where opportunities to expand are endless. While continuing to honor the tradition of the medium, his approach to collaborating with artists of all backgrounds will continue to evolve as digital capacities develop, and he works with his partner to innovate new and exciting processes.
