Bibliographical Society of America: Presentation and workshop at The Bibliography Society of America Annual Research Conference: Book History on a Budget: A Maker-Centered Approach. Presenting with researchers Dr. Lindsay DiCuirci and Dr. Jillian Sayre. Reporting findings on the implementation of a budgeted University maker space while demonstrating various environmental printing activities. New York, January 2025

​

Camden Zine Library: As part of my environmental humanities initiative, I designed the zine library project which turned my workshops series into miniature printable zines that would teach it's readers about the printing method and how to execute it at home. These zines were then placed around Camden at various locations accessible by both the public and students for the great literary good of the campus and community. 

Paper making Volunteers: As a result of my initiative to reduce paper waste on campus, I created a volunteer opportunity for Camden community members and students that allows them to learn how to make recycled paper. Volunteers are responsible for collecting the paper bins from various locations on campus, then processing the recycled paper in office and create bulk supply of recycled paper. This paper is used by MARCH to supply their Zine Library, research projects, and by The Scarlet Scribes to print their semesterly anthology, The Scribune. 

Beeswax Workshop: Designed and taught historical print making workshop with beeswax carvings. Workshop started with a a brief history of ancient Roman printing techniques, where and how beeswax was gathered, and was followed by a hands-on demonstration where attendants could carve their own beeswax stamp. ​​

Sun Printing Workshop: Organized an outdoor sun printing workshop. This workshop allowed students to experiment with UV reactive turmeric dyes which they made sun printed bookmarks. This methods can print transparent prints, stickers, plants, even the clouds. Similar to cyanotype, this is a kitchen-friendly project, encouraging students to experiment with everyday items. 

Thesis Presentation: Honors English Research Project: Poems in the Wild, an experimental research project on biodegradable literature. Findings and workshop presented in Paul Robeson Library in December as hosted by MARCH and the Honors College. Workshop included paper making, blueberry ink extraction, and beeswax stamps. View research paper below. Research to be presented at BSA Annual Research Conference in January 2025.

​

Library Exhibit: My work, Poems in the Wild, went on exhibit at the Paul Robeson Library in March of 2025, showcasing the various environmentally friendly printmaking methods, ancient printmaking methods, and the impact of biodegradable literature on the literary community as a whole. Read article about exhibit here. 

Blueberry Workshop: Designed and taught environmental ink making workshop. Workshop began with a brief history on ink making, the various methods of research, and was followed by a hands-on demonstration where participants could make their own ink out of wild blueberries.​​

​

This experiment used local wild blueberries collected from my own backyard in June of 2024. Attendants mixed this pigment with other local additives to create a variety of colors. 

Paper-making Workshop: Hosted a public paper-making workshop. Attendants learned how paper was made, historical and modern methods, and was able to make their own paper. Three types of paper was made: turmeric stained paper, plantable paper (chia seeds), and regular paper made from recycled paper around campus. 

Plant Printing Workshop: In the late Spring, I taught a plant printing workshop that allowed students, similar to the sun printing workshop, to make bookmarks designed by pressed plants. Instead of pressing and glueing the plants to the bookmark, the various pigments of Camden's local plants were used to make a variety of designs. Such plants include onion grass, roses, pansies, dandelions, etc.
