Auctions, Exhibits, Teaching, OH MY!

Workshops!

I haven’t updated this page in a while, so I thought I’d mention that I had a very exciting and busy summer of teaching this past summer, including my 3rd return to Maine Media back in June to teach tricolor gum. I had a nearly full class, and they were all terrific and made some beautiful prints. I’ll be back there again this summer, in August, 2026, my 4th year teaching there, and you can see all the details here. And I was excited to be at Penland, in the North Carolina mountains, teaching the printing cross-process of gum bichromate over platinum/palladium in mid-July. It was a magical two weeks on that amazing campus, with spectacular facilities, a gorgeous setting, and very creative and terrific students. We had a blast. I then moved on to my very first time at the Santa Fe Workshops, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, teaching The Handmade Artist Book— and what an incredible time we had. I had the best intern in the world in Zoe Peterson, and my students were immensely creative and so much fun. I’ll be back there again this summer, in July. You can check out the details here. I then drove from Santa Fe up to Snowmass, Colorado, and taught for a week there— my 2nd time teaching there— in Alternative Processes Unleashed! As always, this was a fantastic week at the Ranch. I’ll be back there again this summer in June, my 3rd summer teaching there, and this time teaching 2 separate courses. I so look forward to it. You can check it the details when registration opens on January 6. Also check out my Workshops page for more details on dates, etc.

Enormous appreciation to both Ann and Donna! You can read more about the exhibit and see all the exhibited (S)light of Hand work here.

“A photograph is a (S)Light of Hand, a magic trick of sort, conjured into being. Light is summoned and chemistry is concocted making visible both the intangible and the corporeal. It is heart and mind, imagination and craft, melding together into an experience of life-altering alchemy.

We, here at our Collective and Gallery have a deep respect and affection for historic processes. In this juried exhibition, we wish to celebrate this love for hand-made, photo-based processes and invite you to view this magic-making wizardry in our spellbinding juried show, (S)Light of Hand.”
