## Studio Notes

- [Studio Notes - Shredded Paper](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/shredded-paper/): Shredded paper wants to flatten. Getting height while keeping it light takes time.
- [Studio Notes - Heavy](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/heavy/): Last winter this room was empty. One rolling cart, a couple of trays, a window full of bare branches.
- [Studio Notes - Found a Home](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/found-a-home/): Yesterday I came to my studio and found small paper rolls on my workbench with a pink post-it: "Want these? — Anna." My friends at the Center know I am always looking for materials.
- [Studio Notes - Serendipity](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/serendipity/): I spilled the shredder output on the floor. What I saw made me stop. The random tangle of paper strips — fragments of text, no longer readable as language — looked like something I could use.
- [Studio Notes - The Boat Form](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/boat-form/): I spent a lot of time walking Princeton Harbor on the Half Moon Bay coast. A working harbor shows you boats in every state — including stripped down to keel and ribs, the structure laid bare. That form got into me through repeated seeing.
- [Studio Notes - Recurring Forms](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/recurring-forms/): Stadium shapes and circles keep surfacing in my work — forms absorbed from an industrial German childhood. New pieces in cardboard clay push these obsessions into three dimensions.
- [Studio Notes - First Piece](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/first-piece/): First piece combining stacked cardboard and paper mache clay. Dark corrugated layers, rough stone-like center strip, decorative rivets.
- [Studio Notes - Paper Mache](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/paper-mache/): Making paper mache clay for sculpture. Recipe, technique, and a beginner's mistake worth avoiding. Thin layers over foam core for controlled drying.
- [Studio Notes - Cardboard](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/cardboard/): What can a serious artist do with cardboard? I understand the skepticism. We see cardboard as packaging, as the thing we break down for recycling.
- [Studio Notes - Back in the Studio](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/back-in-the-studio/): Ten years away. A new city, a new studio at the Center for People and Craft in Minneapolis. Time to start again.
- [Studio Notes - Finding a Place](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/finding-a-place/): After ten years away from making art, I wasn't looking for a studio. I was looking for community. The Center for People and Craft found me.
- [Studio Notes](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/studio-notes/): Studio notes from mixed media artist Werner Glinka. Process photos, material experiments, and working thoughts from the Center for People and Craft in Minneapolis.

## Artworks

- [Wall sculpture in shredded kraft paper and cardboard clay](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.08.001/): Shredded kraft paper over cardboard clay — the same serendipity method, different material. Flashes of green text surface through the brown tangle, remnants of whatever the paper once was.
- [Wall sculpture in black laminated cardboard and cardboard clay with an embedded stone](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.07.003/): A tall narrow column — black laminated cardboard at top, cardboard clay below. A square opening in the black section holds a single stone.
- [Wall sculpture in black cardboard and cardboard clay](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.07.002/): Two interlocking forms — black vertical cardboard strips with a dark red band at the base, cardboard clay with its quiet mineral surface. Neither panel is complete without the other.
- [Wall sculpture in gray and red-brown layered cardboard](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.07.001/): Interlocking cardboard panels in a restrained palette — dark gray with a woven texture, deep red-brown strips running horizontal and vertical. The irregular outline gives it tension; it refuses to sit still in its frame.
- [Wall sculpture in layered yellow, black, and red cardboard](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.06.001/): Three layered panels of yellow, black, and deep red cardboard, overlapping at different depths, with shallow circular-saw grooves scored across the center. Order interrupted by order.
- [Assemblage in layered cardboard with driftwood and sand](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.05.002/): Layered cardboard set face-on, painted and sanded back. The first larger piece where the cardboard lies flat rather than on edge, with driftwood and sand.
- [Wall sculpture with corrugated cardboard, sand, and stones](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.05.001/): Stepped wall sculpture in corrugated cardboard with a sand-and-stone block. Left half of a form derived from old samurai armor.

- [Assemblage with shredded paper, wood glue, and lacquer](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.03.004/): Shredded office documents soaked in diluted wood glue, drained overnight, and sealed with lacquer. A red band with tile spacer crosses anchors the top.
- [Assemblage with wire mesh, ash, urethane, and shredded paper](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2026.03.005/): Wire mesh over a wood panel coated with ash soaked in urethane, with a cluster of shredded paper resting on the mesh surface.
- [Assemblage triptych evoking coastal themes](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2007.10.001/): Assemblage evoking boat carcasses in Princeton Harbor, California.
- [Assemblage reminicent of a sphere](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2007.07.007/): A circular, wreath-like form composed of interlocking metal strips
- [Assemblage reminicent of a sphere](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2007.01.001/): A circular, wreath-like form composed of interlocking metal strips
- [Object 2005.02.001](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2005.02.001/): A totemic form. Rectangular base in gray sand texture, split by a central blue column with horizontal red bands. Rising above, a deep red crescent - curved like horns, like a moon, like something ceremonial.
- [Object 2005.01.001](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2005.01.001/): A totemic form. Rectangular base in gray sand texture, split by a central blue column with horizontal red bands. Rising above, a deep red crescent - curved like horns, like a moon, like something ceremonial.
- [Object 2005.01.003](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2005.01.003/): A totemic form. Rectangular base in gray sand texture, split by a central blue column with horizontal red bands. Rising above, a deep red crescent - curved like horns, like a moon, like something ceremonial.
- [Object 2005.01.006](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2005.01.006/): Three vertical panels share a single image: a boat hull sketched in pine sticks and wire, floating on a diagonal across an ochre field.
- [Object 2004.04.001](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2004.04.001/): Black sky above, deep red earth below. Pine sticks fan outward in a symmetrical V, suggesting wings in flight.
- [Object 2004.04.003](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2004.04.003/): A weathered branch breaks the frame, extending beyond a grid of aluminum rivets.
- [Object 2003.12.001](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2003.12.001/): This piece came from a night in the Montana mountains during a thunderstorm. The rumbles and rolls of thunder, the cracks, the flashes hitting the earth - impossible to describe with words. This captures such a night.
- [Object 2003.08.006](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2003.08.006/): This piece came from a night in the Montana mountains during a thunderstorm. The rumbles and rolls of thunder, the cracks, the flashes hitting the earth - impossible to describe with words. This captures such a night.
- [Object 2002.07.001](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2002.07.001/): Four panels, four windows. Earth alternates with red. Vertical rectangles alternate with squares.
- [Object 2002.07.002](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2002.07.002/): This piece came from a night in the Montana mountains during a thunderstorm. The rumbles and rolls of thunder, the cracks, the flashes hitting the earth - impossible to describe with words. This captures such a night.
- [Object 2001.08.002](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2001.08.002/): A square of sand holds a madrone leaf - its surface spotted, its edges curling.
- [Object 2001.01.004](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/works/2001.01.004/): Three horizontal zones - dark brown with lichen, translucent money plant seed pods, and sand-textured earth.

## Writing

- [Between the Silence and the Spectacle - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/between-the-silence-and-the-spectacle/): I was drafted into the silence of postwar Germany and arrived in the spectacle of Reagan's America. Germany built a culture that could not celebrate its soldiers; America built one that could not hold its wars to account. Now Germany is being asked to rearm, and the question is whether anything exists between the two.
- [Legally, Again - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/legally-again/): The Weimar takeover was legal, not a mob. The same mechanism ran in Hungary, ran in Poland, and is running in the United States. An election changes the tenant; it does not dismantle the building. Structure helps, but structure assumes honoring.
- [That's Just How It Is - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/thats-just-how-it-is/): What caused the K-curve, and why don't American workers organize against the way they are being exploited? A 1971 confidential memo to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, fifty years of patient counter-mobilization across think tanks, courts, and political institutions, and a labor architecture built to require continuous firm-by-firm reorganizing. The asymmetry was by design.
- [We Kept Growing. Most People Didn’t - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/we-kept-growing-most-people-didnt/): The pronatalist alarm and the AI displacement alarm arguing about the same problem from opposite sides. Both assume the growth model is intact. It has not been. The forty years since 1980 were workarounds — debt, asset inflation, immigration, central bank intervention — that kept the appearance of growth going while the broad-based productive expansion stopped happening for most of the population. AI removes the last workaround.
- [Our Faith? - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/our-faith/): Federal agencies under Trump's second term are speaking to workers in the first-person plural of Christian faith — USDA Easter emails, monthly agency prayer services, an OPM memo permitting workplace proselytizing. Federal whistleblower confidence collapsed from 71.9% to 22.5% in a single year. The establishment clause is eroding inside workplaces where saying you are uncomfortable risks your career.
- [A Talisman Against Fascism — In Loring Park - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/center-for-people-and-craft/): The Center for People and Craft is an emerging urban folk school in Minneapolis — a direct counter to the isolation that authoritarian movements depend on.
- [MCP Server v2.0: Modernizing the Toolchain](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/mcp-server-2/): Six months after reaching 1.0.0, metalsmith-plugin-mcp-server hits 2.0.0 with its first real breaking change: the toolchain every scaffolded plugin inherits has been modernized.
- [Who Fired You - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/who-fired-you/): The expert-public divide on AI isn't a puzzle about understanding — it's a question about who captures the gains. 'AI is taking jobs' is a grammatical evasion. The people who own it are.
- [Is Anthropic vital for US Security? - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/is-anthropic-vital-for-us-security/): On Wednesday, April 8, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned the CEOs of America’s largest banks to an urgent, unscheduled meeting. The subject was a single AI model — Claude Mythos Preview, built by Anthropic
- [The Wrong Argument - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/the-wrong-argument/): Retraining has never worked at scale, and 59% of companies admit they cite AI in layoffs for investor optics. Meanwhile, the most consequential displacement is invisible — vertical SaaS platforms quietly absorbing labor through software updates no measurement system can detect in time.
- [How Can America Be So Miserable - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/how-can-america-be-so-miserable/): A response to David French’s New York Times essay on America’s tiered economy. The stratification isn’t cultural drift — it’s the predictable result of policy choices that redirected productivity gains from workers to shareholders for forty years.
- [Coal and Steel - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/coal-and-steel/): Germany had co-determination, strong unions, massive public investment, and six decades of managed transition. It still left the Ruhr Valley with double the national unemployment rate. If the best-case outcome looks like that, what happens to a country with none of those advantages?
- [My Claude Wishlist - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/my-claude-wishlist/): I use Claude for intellectual work: developing arguments across sessions, stress-testing ideas, writing essays, and building software. It’s the most productive working relationship I’ve had with a tool — and I keep running into the same wall.
- [Not Yet - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/not-yet/): The Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk for refusing to build autonomous weapons. Anthropic's own research shows early displacement in entry-level professional work. Democracy depends on a broad middle class — and AI is hollowing it out.
- [Beyond the Black Box - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/beyond-the-black-box/): How Markdown's marked extension API turned five verbose YAML sections into one clean component — and why I never noticed the capability was there all along.
- [The Boats That Found Me - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/the-boats-that-found-me/): The stadium form came from Gelsenkirchen — from Schalke, from the industrial geometry of the Ruhrpott. But another shape found me in California, and it came from the water.
- [The Shapes That Stay - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/the-shapes-that-stay/): In "The Other Side of Things," I wrote about returning to art-making after a ten-year hiatus. What surprised me is that some things apparently never left.
- [From Metalsmith to Eleventy - SEO Without External Dependencies - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/from-metalsmith-to-eleventy-seo-without-external-dependencies/): Implementing SEO for a bilingual Eleventy site using templates instead of plugins—covering meta tags, Open Graph, hreflang, JSON-LD structured data, and sitemaps.
- [The Corporate Benevolence Fantasy - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/the-corporate-benevolence-fantasy/): Labor's share of GDP hit a 78-year low in 2025. Salesforce cut half its support staff, then raised prices 6%. The AI deflation argument is trickle-down in its latest reincarnation — same promise, same mechanism, same beneficiaries.
- [From Metalsmith to Eleventy - Building a Bilingual Site - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/from-metalsmith-to-eleventy-building-a-bilingual-site/): Implementing a full English-German bilingual site with Eleventy, covering directory structure, language-aware navigation, breadcrumbs, a language switcher, and per-language collections.
- [I've Seen This Before - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/ive-seen-this-before/): The Ruhr Valley spent sixty years and billions in subsidies managing an industrial transition — and still left Gelsenkirchen at 15.6% unemployment. AI is compressing that same pattern into a decade, hitting every knowledge-work sector simultaneously.
- [Who Buys What We Build? - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/who-buys-what-we-build/): U.S. employers cut 1.2 million jobs in 2025 while posting record profits and pouring tens of billions into AI. AI didn't break capitalism. It exposed a version of capitalism that had already stopped distributing its gains.
- [From Metalsmith to Eleventy - Porting an Actual Site - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/from-metalsmith-to-eleventy-porting-an-actual-site/): The practical experience of migrating an art website from Metalsmith to Eleventy, including navigation issues, data access patterns, and what the fixes revealed about platform assumptions.
- [From Metalsmith to Eleventy - The Accidental Abstraction - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/from-metalsmith-to-eleventy-the-accidental-abstraction/): How a Metalsmith component library turned out to be a platform-agnostic Nunjucks library, and why the components ported to Eleventy without a single template change.
- [From Metalsmith to Eleventy - A Natural Progression - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/from-metalsmith-to-eleventy-a-natural-progression/): Why I moved from Metalsmith to Eleventy for my art website, what carried over, and why the skills and mental models transfer between static site generators.

- [MCP Server Development: Evolution - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/mcp-server-development-evolution/): Metalsmith Plugin MCP Server is a good example of how AI can assist in development. But what started over a weekend turned into a real development framework, shaped by real-world usage, trial-and-error, and a growing understanding of how AI needs to be guided, not just invited.
- [MCP Server Development: Integrating Claude AI - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/mcp-server-development-integrating-claude-ai/): Discover how to use Claude AI and MCP servers to automate plugin development.

- [Beyond Markdown: Building Sectioned Webpages - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/beyond-markdown-building-sectioned-webpages/): Instead of starting with content and adding MDN components, what if we began with components and composed them into pages?
- [The JavaScript Framework Carousel - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/the-javascript-framework-carousel/): Developers celebrate migrating blogs to Astro or Next.js, describing complex build processes as 'easier than React.' But why does a blog need to fly? Sometimes simple tools are the sophisticated choice.
- [Metalsmith Plugin Template - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/metalsmith-plugin-template/): While working on the blog series Metalsmith Redux (Static Site Generation in 2025), I developed several new plugins with the assistance of Claude AI, which led me to create a standardized template for Metalsmith plugins.

- [Metalsmith Redux - Static Site Generation in 2025 - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/metalsmith-redux-intro/): Let's talk about Metalsmith. It's a static site generator that's been around for a while, and for good reason. Metalsmith keeps things simple and stable. It's particularly good for the kind of sites most of us actually build day-to-day.
- [My AI-Assisted Journey with Project Metallurgy - Werner Glinka](https://www.wernerglinka.com/writing/ai-assisted-journey-with-project-metallurgy/): My AI journey evolved from ChatGPT to Claude, which felt like having a human co-programmer.

- [Mountain of Inspiration](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/articles/almanac-2001/): When high-tech marketing consultant Werner Glinka, 49, moved to the sylvan community of Kings Mountain four years ago, he had a passion for the sleek, steel-and-glass modernism of the Bauhaus movement, an appreciation for the simple, functional grace of Japanese landscaping, and an aesthetic sensibility shaped by the stark, industrial city in North Germany where he grew up.
- [When Opposites Converge](https://www.wernerglinka.com/art/articles/palo-alto-weekly-2009/): Industrial artist Werner Glinka refuses to title his mixed-media assemblages lest he influence viewers' interpretations.
