Years Teaching: Since 2010
Instructor Training and Experience: I began as a hand bookbinder in unique and edition bindings working at that for 8 years. I studied with: Don Glaister, Timothy Ely, David Sellers, Gary Frost, Hedi Kyle, Laura Young and worked in the binderies of: Daniel Kelm, Sarah Creighon, David Bourbeau and The University of Washington Libraries. In the 1990’s I crossed over into the world of furniture and architectural surfaces, bringing my book binding expertise with me. As an applied artist, I’ve always been drawn to work with materials that contribute to the sensory quality one finds in real objects, hand-worked with technical acumen. In my work I have specialized in the use of vellum/parchment, leather and gilding on furniture and architectural surfaces. This professional practice has been the backbone of my studio work for over 25 years and has allowed me to study and develop many techniques on a variety of designs, each with their own particular challenges. I am now focusing on using my artisan skills to develop my own designs and sharing these techniques through teaching and writing.
Offers Instruction In: I specialize in the use of vellum/parchment, leather and gilding on furniture and architectural surfaces.
Location of Instruction:At my workshop in Easthampton, MA
Will Travel: Yes
Additional Comments: Teaching philosophy: I am excited to offer study opportunities of the techniques I practice to the emerging or established artisan. I present the information in a thorough and methodical way, providing an in-depth understanding of the traditional and non-traditional materials used, as well as why and how I have developed particular techniques with these materials. When I began learning water gilding and vellum work, very few people taught these techniques and of those few, even less shared authentic and comprehensive information about their approach. Most of what I've learned has been self-taught while executing client projects over the past 30 years. This practical knowledge came easily sometimes and at other times it involved hair-raising, epic mistakes. Today, I make an effort to teach the information I wish I would have had access to 30 years ago. I enjoy when a creative student is able to take the techniques I provide and apply them to their own unique pursuits. I welcome students of many backgrounds to foster a collaborative and experiential environment. If you're curious how the techniques I have to offer may fit in with your work please feel free to inquire about workshops or independent study.
