Studio supervision
The Print Media area comprises a large amount of machinery, equipment, tools and sundries, in a variety of conjoined studio spaces. As the sole Full-Time faculty member in Print, I oversee all of these studios and the respective equipment contained therein, as well as the processes undertaken in each. A list of the studios and sub-studios is shown below. For see pictures of the Print studios, click here.

Student technician supervision
The student technician is an integral part of the day-to-day operation of the Print Media studios. Since coming to the University of Regina in 2007, I have trained and overseen approximately one dozen student technicians. Despite the relatively steep learning curve associated with the student tech position in Print Media (whether the student is an undergraduate or a graduate student), and the fairly substantial time commitment I need to invest so that they understand all the nuances of the studios, I enjoy the training and supervision. In this role, I see the opportunity to teach a different side of the profession of being a Print Media artist, to an eager and promising student. Many of my previous techs were graduate students or senior undergrads; they used the opportunity to learn as much as possible about how the studio operates and how I, as the professor (and professional artist) make choices about what to teach and how to teach it. One of the things that makes a Print Media artist "marketable", beyond excellent work and teaching experience, is the ability to manage a Printmaking studio, and the student tech position is wonderful training in this regard.
