Worked for a mainstream crafty megopolis like Mary Englebreit or Martha Stewart.
Have been fortunate enough this year to have held down many interesting part time jobs.
One regular gig that I have had for the past four years, has been the art teacher at Marian Middle School. I received this positions through SCOSAG my official title is "Visiting Artist" but I am essentially the schools regular art teacher. I've posted earlier about the many reasons that I love this job, in addition to the incredible students, it has been regular work for me these past several years. I don't have to worry about any of the adjunct drama of -"will i get a class and what kind?"
This initial position led to work during the summer as an art teacher and even during the year as an after-school art club teacher. This winter the art club worked on Set Design with Cam and I. It was a fast and intense project as we tried to prepare the set in a few weeks. The set was for the Grinch. Here are some of the results.
