experimental Printmaking Institute
Studio Assistant and Drawing Teaching Assistant // Easton, Pennsylvania
Fall 2016 - May 2020
The Experimental Printmaking Institute (EPI) is a professional print studio associated with Lafayette College. I have taken classes at EPI since my freshman year and have worked as a studio assistant/drawing class teaching assistant since my sophomore year under the advisement of Master Printer Jase Clark.
Studio Assistant // Fall 2017 - May 2020
As a studio assistant I have had the pleasure to work with a variety of visiting and resident professional artists invited to EPI by Lafayette College. These artists include Iman Raad, Joan Waltemath, Josephine Halvorson, Cullen Washington Jr., Charles Burwell, Sharon Olds and Sam Messer.
I have also had the great pleasure of being the first student to run printmaking workshops with Lee Services in which I teach and assist a group of artistically inclined adults with disabilities about the printmaking process. Most recently, the Lee Services group worked with me to emboss paper for the frame around Sharon Olds' poem which accompanies a print by Sam Messer for sale at EPI.
