Nicole Asselin

Nicole Asselin is a textile and mixed media artist and arts educator. Her work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally, and she has given numerous lectures and workshops on textile practices, art and design.

I foster a student-directed classroom, where learning by doing is the focus. Students are fully immersed in the studio environment and encouraged to develop a robust design process along with a strong art-making practice.
