Youth Ceramics Teacher
Mar, 2018 - Sep, 2018Mill Valley Potters Studio
I was the youth teacher at MVPS, where I implemented a curriculum of introductory ceramic methods to three age groups (seven to eighteen years old) as a contracted position. I also was an assistant teacher for the adults during open studio hours, as well as the assistant for the Raku Workshops. I was always glad to help the studio technicians load kilns as well as keep the studio organized and clean.
Teacher Assistant for Contemporary Practice at SFAI
Jan, 2016 - Apr, 2016San Francisco Art Institute
In this undergraduate class, I was responsible for keeping attendance and also watching over students growth in order to report to the lead teacher. I also was responsible for leading several lectures on different aspects of how to engage with an audience and exhibit work.
Teacher Assistant, Drawing I: Methods and Materials with Danielle Lawrence, SFAI
Jan, 2015 - Apr, 2015San Francisco Art Institute
Danielle Lawrence facilitated many in-class figure drawing sessions, where I would help students learn tricks about perspective and rendering of the human figure. I was asked to draw in front of students, so they could obtain skills from observation. I also exposed students to a variety of tools and educated them about proper materials to help better their practice.
