This month has been a super busy one in many ways. I am the new Art Teacher for BAAY (Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth), which is a fantastic local non-profit organization that has been around for more than ten years here in Bellingham, WA http://artsarebasic.org/
This means, I've begun teaching art for a local elementary that is a part of their after school arts program, with a classroom assistant who volunteers for BAAY. I'm having a wonderful time!

In addition to working with BAAY, I will be teaching art this summer at two locations: The Foundry Makerspace in Bellingham, and Jansen Art Center in Lynden, WA. http://jansenartcenter.org/artist/rachel-simpson/
Similar to my art workshop I taught at Allied Arts of Whatcom county in their Annual RARE event, I will be teaching my Altered Books classes in a more extensive course. These are two great places that are relatively new in our community that works to have art, teachers, and classes to all ages of students! Details of all my classes are listed here in my site.
I'm also working on plans to assist in an Art Summer Camp at Jansen for a week this coming June. So, it looks as though this sumer will be full of creative things happening!
The Allied Arts RARE event was a smashing hit for Bellingham!

While I did not have very many students, I really enjoyed teaching my Altered Books class to my mom (on the left), and to two other ladies. I've even started a newsletter to those who were interested, with hopes that they will spread the word and/or make it to another one of my classes.
In other news, I will be having my artwork up on display at The Black Drop coffee house in downtown Bellingham for the month of July. The Black Drop: 300 West Champion Street, Bellingham, WA.
There really is a bunch of great things in the mix this summer. So many things to do, enjoy, share, and create!
