Book Arts


I teach art and writing workshops designed for a range of student ages, interests, and skill levels.

Recent workshops include a 4-day book arts pre-orientation intensive for Washington College students, and a week-long program visit at the University of Maine Machias, where I worked with students individually on their poems, visited the Book Arts class, and gave a poetry reading.
