I attended my first faculty meeting at New World School of the Arts, yesterday; I’ll be teaching Printmaking as an Adjunct Instructor for the College this Fall. In the spring I’ll also be teaching the High School students. It was nice to see familiar faces among the faculty, and I was glad to meet everyone else. I felt very welcomed.
The printshop at New World has a set-aside clean-room for book-making. Carol Todaro, book-artist extraordinaire, will be teaching the Sketchbook/Book Arts class, and I’m very happy to be sharing the printshop domain with her. We’ll be taking a material and supply inventory in a few days, which will help us develop a better plan for the semester.
A book show is planned for the downstairs gallery in November, so I’m considering including a simple, single-sheet fold-book assignment in this semester’s class. I’m excited to be working on the syllabus, keen to meet the students, and eager to get accustomed to the shop itself.
