Discussions will revolve around TD as both a sensible and supersensible art process, touch drawings as art objects made to be displayed, and TD as taught in a school setting as an art practice that expands students’ art-making abilities.
I have been an art teacher for the past 13 years (mostly middle school aged kids) In my own work, I tend towards 2D acrylic paintings. I also love collage and making things out of found objects.
Have you done Touch Drawing?
Yes
How did you find out about the Touch Drawing Community?
Initially, from a class I took at the Omega Institute in New York
Have you facilitated Touch Drawing?
Yes
In what setting have you facilitated?
Just to friends so far, but I hope to introduce it to my students soon!
Share a special experience with Touch Drawing or SoulCards.
I almost feel like every experience with touch drawing is special because it is a process unlike any other! I love how I can tap into deep places when drawing. the process is so freeing to me.
Do you facilitate SoulCards with others?
No
Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?
Besides art, I am also a BIG music fan...from Altan to Zeppelin and everything in-between. I am very interested in sound healing as well, and the connection of art and music.
Hi Dana! Another East coast touch drawer!!!! I wish I had some tissue paper 'cause I need some myself-I'm out too! So, no luck for you -sorry. BUT, I am very happy that you contacted me because I would love to come visit you in Northhampton sometime. I would love to collaborate on some art! Your storefront residency looks like so much fun!!! What a great set up. The mural is fab! You'll have to let me kow if you are ever in the Boston area too. I am heading back to full time public scool teaching soon. Next week is my last "free" week. If I get a last minute travel bug, maybe I will come up and visit. As far as the paper goes- good luck finding some!
Margot - When you responded to the invitation to join, you first were shown a page to become a general member of the Td Community. It should have next taken you to a page where you could join the 2008 Gathering group. Did you see that? We hope the system worked as it should. I will send you a new invitation to join the 2008 Gathering group - it is private and by invitation only, so only members will be able to access the content of this group.

Would you by any chance be coming out this way in the next couple days & have some TD tissue paper I could buy from you?
You could come visit my really cool Storefront Art residency in downtown and we could make some art together!
(You can see photos of the residency and some of the TD inner-portraits i did in the storefront space over the weekend on the News page of my website)
