Introducing Office Hours!

I love teaching! I love my students! But I can’t always offer the class you are looking for. I am offering customizable, online* private lessons, in one hour blocks.

My strength as an instructor is endless patience and the ability to pivot. Do you like diagrams and maps to follow? Or do you prefer a loose approach? I love experimentation rooted in learning all the steps of a process.

I have experience in printmaking, collage, bookbinding, drawing, and writing. I have been making zines since 1995, a letterpress printer since 2008, and an instructor since 2012.

Here are a few ideas for our time:

Skill Specific

Want to learn a coptic book binding? Interested in designing for polymer plate printing but need assistance with your designs? Need tips for linoleum block cutting? Maybe you are setting up a print shop with new-to-you equipment.

Project Support

Have an idea but don’t know where to start? I can help you with concept, materials, and execution of a book or project. Need feedback and constructive assistance towards the next step? I am happy to lend a critical eye and creative encouragement.

Ongoing Practice

If you have taken a class with me or read “The Boring Guide to Staying Inspired,” you know I love practice! I can offer weekly exercises to get you started for a regular art time together. Whether you draw, collage, or write, I have many resources to offer, with creative prompts and fun things to try. Feeling stuck? Maybe a few sessions will get you out of your creative funk.

Welcome to this experimental program! I am now booking through January.
