Speaking Engagements & Maker Workshops
Having been an educator for decades, I am a seasoned public speaker and love teaching. I’ve given in-person and virtual lectures and facilitated discussions for small and large groups alike, including educators, artists, philanthropists, religious leaders, and entrepreneurs. My artwork is the perfect centerpiece to discuss my expertise in ceramics, sculpture, socially engaged art, spiritual art, Islam, Muslims, and Islamophobia.
Want to get your hands dirty? I also offer maker workshops based on the themes in my artwork. Diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are cherished values and I always design tailor-made workshops and speaking engagements for each unique audience.
What clients are saying!

“What an engaging session, from the multi-media, from the way that Alison was able to interact so seamlessly with participants. So great, and I learned a lot.”
“There was an opportunity to learn, engage, connect and process information. I learned a lot and gained a deeper appreciation for the experience of the Muslim community.”
“You shared really interesting perspectives on Islamic history and beliefs, and then encouraged us to make whatever our imagination was asking us to make. It created an unexpected fusion of ideas and I really love what I made in your workshop.”
