Jody Williams (1956-2023) was a long-time instructor at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, and proprietor of the much acclaimed Flying Paper Press where she published artists' books and prints, often in miniature format. She taught workshops and presented lectures at museums and colleges across the United States and Europe, and taught printmaking and book art for more than 25 years at MCAD.
