WORKSHOPS + CLASSES
I host a variety of dynamic drawing and cyanotype workshops, classes and events. No matter the medium, I embrace a “come as you are” approach, offering invitations to worship at the altar of silliness. with an emphasis on offerings for people of all ages and abilities, I am to cultivate spaces to playfully surrender to the process, which allows participants to challenge their fears and perfectionism around art-making.
I wear an N95 or maskbloc approved KN95 mask at all events I attend or host. I will offer them at any events I facilitate. When I have the autonomy to do so, I require masks at my events. When I do not, I strongly encourage and provide them. I care about you and aim to do my part to mitigate the effects of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and curb other respiratory illnesses.

current offerings:
Cyanotype Magic (Two Sessions)
Fridays May 29 + June 5, 5:00 - 7:45 pm
$175 per person, 10 students max
Masks required and provided 😷
Join me for this exciting 2-day workshop! No experience necessary. This class is especially supportive for people who wish to challenge their perfectionism and/or shake themselves loose from creative stagnancy.
During this two session workshop series at Ulna Studio in Southeast Portland, I will invite you to explore the endless possibilities of cyanotype through the lens of her drawing and printmaking background. This transformative medium will use UV lamps and chemically treated paper that becomes mysterious blue and white imagery when rinsed in water. This is a process-based and fast moving (but friendly and approachable!) medium, and participants will get to make many works on paper! (~10-15 pieces).
Part one will explore the basics of this fascinating photo-adjacent process using my chaotic assortment of treasures (and you are also welcome to bring your own trinkets to experiment with!). I will offer open-ended exercises and new techniques shared throughout the evening. Part two will show additional mediums to incorporate within your existing cyanotypes and new techniques to create new ones. We will conclude with a brief moment to share our work and reflect on the process and results.
Control Freak (One Day Workshop)
Friday May 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm
$50 per person, 16 students max
Masks required and provided 😷
This class is for anyone, and especially people who may not consider themselves as “artists”!
Challenge your inner control freak and cultivate neurospicy nurturance through surrealist drawing games and analog prompt-generated drawings! We’ll do several low-pressure, playful drawing exercises together and let our imaginations run wild! All materials will be provided, but you are of course invited to bring along your trusty pens, markers or pencils – this class will be dry-media melee! Located at Ulna Studio in Southeast Portland.
Worship at the altar of silliness with me!
