The Projects See examples of student work from previous year's classes by clicking on the picture galleries at the left. (We do as many of these projects as we can fit in from the list. Every year's class varies a little.) Lately, I've tried to incorporate a group project each year that is displayed at school. So far, we've done group projects in shibori, screen printing, polychromatic screen printing, and batik.
Make Up Classes
Parents pay for an average of four classes per month. Some months have more, some fewer. In a typical year, I may be absent once or twice without a substitute, or we may come out short on the calendar by one or two days. I offer a make-up class at my home studio. This is normally a two-hour marbleing class for two students at a time on weekends.
