TEACHING Jacobs was invited to teach the disperse dye method of fabric printing for a week at the Convent of the Sacred Heart (CSH) in Greenwich, CT. She taught students in elementary, middle and high school and conducted gallery talks. Students worked for a few weeks before Jacobs came to the school, using oil pastels and watercolors, to practice the technique of printing with disperse dyes. They were able to make monoprints and collages, resulting in some stunning and original images. The experience was extremely rewarding for Jacobs and the students at this private school. The art teachers at CSH will be taking one finished piece from each student and fashioning them into Tibetan prayer flags, to be displayed in the school's light-filled, glass stairway, and much of the student work will be on display at the opening of Jacobs' show on Dec. 3, 2009.
