. Teaching artist Heckscher museum superintendents day, 2023 .
From the Heckscher Museum: K-12 teachers are invited to join us for this full day art conference at the Museum and Huntington Fine Arts in Greenlawn!
In the Museum, tour Raise the Roof: The Home in Art. Explore exhibit-related themes that reflect the many meanings of home. Gain insight through an inspiring talk by contemporary Latinx artist Melissa Misla. Her paintings layer collage and found materials to explore the culturally dualistic environments in which she was raised. Next, take a deep dive with Heckscher Museum Curator, Karli Wurzelbacher, as she examines the mid-career retrospective of exhibiting Shinnecock artist Courtney M. Leonard. Explore Leonard’s immersive ceramics and installations.
At Huntington Fine Arts, fiber artist and educator Emily Martin will discuss her work as a weaver, installation artist, and textile designer, focusing on materiality, tactility, and color. She will inspire unique hands-on activities for all grade levels. Participants will also enjoy live model figure drawing and a multitude of interesting still-life set-ups to nurture their creative spirit!

Limited merch release for TK's new album, "these days / このごろ.” Made in collaboration with textile artist Emily Martin.
Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique.
It involves binding, stitching, folding, twisting, and compressing the fabric before dyeing.
The verb shiboru means "to wring, squeeze and press" in Japanese.
This collaboration was made in tribute to the Japanese art of Shibori, each bandana is dyed in indigo by hand.
Given the nature of Shibori, each piece is one-of-a-kind.
Our collaboration is marked with block printed ink, its red color paying tribute to traditional Japanese Hanko stamps.
Each Hanko stamp was carved into a rubber block.
Produced in limited quantities.
