Workshops
2024 Composing Color, Foundations Workshop, UNT, Denton, TX: This monthly workshop introduced students to digital tools such as Illustrator and Photoshop, focusing on how to explore and experiment with color options efficiently and intuitively.

2025 Sew Easy, Foundations Workshop, UNT, Denton, TX: This bi- weekly workshop introduces foundational hand-sewing skills—including tool use, the running stitch, the backstitch, and basic surface design techniques, as a starting point for more ambitious textile projects. Alongside skill-building, it situates fiber arts within a broader history of craft as a tool for community building, protest, and documenting history through textiles.

2025 Block Party, UNT, Denton, TX: This workshop introduced eighth-grade students to the fundamentals of relief printmaking, with an emphasis on tools, materials, safety, and basic printing techniques. Students carved their own imagined creatures and practiced printing individually. In the second half of the session, we pivoted to focus on collaboration, working together to produce a collective print as a group.


Teaching

Foundations 1800: Narrative and Representation – Teaching Assistant: This course emphasizes multiple levels of representation ranging from the physical to the intangible. I taught two sections of the lab component of this course.

Spring 2024
Foundations 1900: Systems and Transformations – Teaching Assistant: This course critically analyzes multiple, research and choice-based, perspectives of object and image-making and challenges students to develop a personal framework in the processes of visual art and design. I taught the lab component of this course.

Spring 2025
Introduction to Printmaking – Teaching Fellow: This course is a survey of traditional printmaking techniques, introducing students to a variety of basic printmaking processes including the fundamentals of paper, inks, presses, printing, editions, and the variant. This course, tailored for art education majors, included instruction on traditional printmaking techniques followed by adaptations for spaces without access to a printing press, such as home studios or other non-traditional environments.
