Short Teaching 
Description





                                                           
Since 2000 I have taught numerous Textile/Fashion courses as an adjunct faculty member in the following insititutions:  NSCAD University, Canada; Dalhousie Universtiy, Canada; Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada; and the Transart Institute for Creative Research (Graduate), Germany. The breadth of my teaching practice is evidenced by my years of conceiving and delivering a wide variety of curriculum and drawing connections between a diverse mix of processes and ideas. My teaching record and performance is excellent and my student evaluations are consistently high.

  • Repeating Pattern (for artists, designers and textile/wallpaper enthusiasts)
  • Silk-Screen Printing on cloth (I have taught this dozens of times)
  • Intermediate Dye and Print (specialized processes include natural dying, devore, discharge, cloque, and advanced printing and dying techniques)
  • Introduction to Weaving

  • Experimental Fashion
  • Draping (The Sculpture of Dress) 
  • Hybrid Practice Strategies considering the inter-textual nature and possibilities of Textiles/Clothing as it relates to practices of sculpture, photography, performance, dance, film
