went on a lil field trip back in July ~ celebrated one year of creativity with The Hive @thehivemia, a teen-oriented art + collaborative space (and first of its kind in dade county!). we only had 45 mins to make 🤠 so we made textured snack plates, in between button-making, bass noodling, and other fun things.

this was so very sweet!! grateful to have been a part of this, stoked to finally be in a position where I can just… bring some pottery to the people (and in this case, the teens — I was pretty sure they liked it even though they didn’t say much… quiet in the art room is a good thing, no?)

the art room is a Blessed Space, at least it was for me so this is a mission that is dear to my heart. art spaces are Good and Necessary for human beings and keeping art accessible is a major part of why i do what i do anyway, and supporting these sweet people and their art-centered, community initiatives is a no-brainer, immediate, “absolutely yes!” sort of thing.

Starting in November 2023, I’ll be leading some printmaking workshops afterschool at the Florida Palms Academy in Hollywood, FL.

I prefer to use accessible materials in traveling workshops, participants should feel able to revisit what they learned with me without needing any specialty equipment or materials. I’ll be showing students how to create with their own “Gelli” pads using everyday in-your-kitchen materials (and save $50 while they’re at it).
