Day one

Sabbatical begins - What does one do when on sabbatical? A lot of people assume that a sabbatical is a vacation and a “do-nothing” for a year. Similar to the feeling that teachers do nothing over their summer holidays! You couldn’t be more wrong. Don’t get me wrong we all take a break, for sure - a well deserved break from our everyday work schedule - but we do work. .

A sabbatical is a one year relief from regular duties to study and/or travel. So I’m doing both.

First on the list is visiting and working with various studios in several cities. Toronto is stop #1 - it has such a great vibe in our industry and so many opportunities available to learn from and participate in. Toronto has been so good to our students. Offering them a place to relocate to and complete field placement hours - our students always come back from Toronto studios rejuvenated and inspired. So what better place to start!
