education

Teaching art is the best kind of mess there is. Lessons are always planned, but new ideas are welcomed, and the imagination of K–8 students is boundless. After 15+ years in various classroom settings, there were plenty of days when the plan went out the window and we created something entirely new.

Want to brainstorm lesson ideas, need studio setup advice, or want to consult on a rad museum education brochure? say hi here :)
