I’ve been amazed at how our ability to design and create new technologies can be artful or improve our lives. Good job. That said more of artful design can be found at icr.org, which is looking at sciences as reverse engineering from a master designer.

Amy has generously given her time and expertise to the PCC Foundation and some beautiful projects that we’ve created as well. Thank you for being such a wonderful partner and teacher, Amy!

Amy has worked closely with so many of our Art faculty and students in classes as diverse as 3-D Design, Printmaking, Painting and Sculpture. Last year she also volunteered her time to develop a project for activist artist, Mónica Mayer’s visit to PCC from Mexico City. Amy is a treasure and our students are lucky to have access to her knowledge and creativity at PCC.

(P.S. She has work on view in the Faculty Show in the Northview Gallery right now and it’s well worth the trip to the CT building to see in person!)

Amy has so generously helped me for several years. I’ve needed molds for my organic chemistry dental hygiene course, and Amy has patiently made them for me out of several different materials. My students love the tooth-shaped composite pieces that they make in the lab, and I am always anxious to give a shout out to Amy for the help she’s given me.

A beautiful story! Amy is a true “maker” and I’m so glad the PCC community gets the chance to use this facility under the guidance of someone who deeply understands the science of craft.
