Later this month I’ll be teaching a one-night art history class with the Brooklyn Brainery. I thought I’d share the details here, even though it’s not perfume-related!
The class is called “Wish You Were Here: Travel in American Art” and it will be held at the Brooklyn Museum on Thursday, August 23 at 6:30 pm. You can find more details and a registration link at the Brainery website.

Update, October 17: Hello! I’ve had to reschedule this class, due to my recent leg injury. I’ll post the new date as soon as it’s confirmed. Sorry, and thanks!
On November 2, I’ll be teaching a one-night class about some lesser-known women artists who were active in New York from the 1920s through the 1940s (and beyond) — O’Keeffe’s contemporaries, if you will.
You can find full information at the Brooklyn Brainery’s website, here!

On May 18, 2017, I’ll be teaching a one-night class called “Iconic Perfume Bottles” at the Brooklyn Brainery. We’ll be looking at classic perfume bottle designs through the lenses of perfumery, design history, and cultural context.
You can learn more about the class (and register!) here.
