carlock residency

Residency at Moravian Academy Upper School. Bethlehem PA

In September 2017 I was the recipient for Carlock Award at Moravian Academy Upper School. Every other year this award exists to bring visual artists to the school to lead workshops with the students in their artform. I worked with the freshman class along with some specialty art classes to teach the students the process of wet felting, needle felting and 3-D fiber sculpting. The students made a variety of individual projects including mixed media felt paintings, felted vessels and wool monsters. Each student spent at least three or more of their art classes with me, learning these new skills and working in a hands on medium to create something truly unique. The residency culminated with an artist talk given to school to discuss arts education, my body of work and the experience of working with the students in fiber arts.
