Workshops

I love collaborating with fellow artists, teachers, community members, and organizations to tailor offerings to specific contexts including schools, workplaces, and intergenerational community settings.

Let me know if you would like to create a workshop for your art opening/show, class, work event, or community gathering, and we’ll cook something up together.

The following examples include a variety of interdisciplinary offerings.
