KC Potter
Interim Secretary
Board Member
K.C. Potter discovered bookmaking at a very young age, equipped with crayons, paper, and staples. With a few more skills under her belt, she now finds time to create and sew pages of ABC books together for her two nieces. K.C. studied Fine Art, Photography and Art History at the University of Pennsylvania, and most recently fell in love with letterpress at the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle. Her passion for the arts led her to teach photography and run programs at a local non-profit serving Seattle youth. Currently, K.C. is developing her own artwork, and is employed at the G. Gibson Gallery in Pioneer Square.
Lark Preya
Board Member
Lark Preya owns Dirigible Works, creating artists’ books and ephemera. She has an MFA in Bookarts from the University of Alabama, concentrating in printing, binding, papermaking and the history of the book. She is a member of ILSSA and on the board of the Seattle Center for Book Arts.
Maggie Roberts
Development Chair
Board Member
Maggie received her BFA from Alfred University where her studies were focused on Photography and Graphic Design. However, she has always said that if she could have afforded four years worth of mega-expensive therapy, her concentration would have been printmaking. Now, Maggie is a time-divider – 1/3 art, 1/3 business, 1/3 home. The art time is usually spent digging back into the printmaking world through letterpress and silkscreen. The business time is spent as a serial entrepreneur. Currently she and her husband, Jim, own and operate a small invitation company, Uncommon Envelope. The home time is dedicated to Jim, their two dogs, Jersey and Bailey, and working on her new (old) house in Tacoma.
