Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refresh your existing curriculum, I can help you create engaging, developmentally appropriate art and pottery programming tailored to your audience and teaching style. We’ll collaborate to design lessons that are fun, educational, and aligned with your studio’s values and goals. I’ll coach you on best practices for how to document & archive your lesson plans and the best tools and systems to build your own library.

You can also purchase proven, ready-to-use lesson plans and project packs from our curriculum library—perfect for camps, classes, workshops, or after-school programs. These resources are classroom-tested and “tried & true” – designed to save you time while inspiring your students.
