Even the best of teams can struggle to work together. This workshop uses The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni to recognize common pitfalls of a team such as absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to team results. Participants will then explore the meaning behind these issues and identify various strategies for overcoming them.Sign up today; spots are limited! http://go.uta.edu/mltsignup

Jessica Drenk recycles books, carboard, and junk mail to create 3-D sculptures and sculptural wall pieces that appear made of natural materials such as wood and stone. She will be discussing her artistic practice and her work on display in Paper Trails, the current exhibition in The Gallery at UTA, during this informal gallery talk.Raised in Montana, Jessica developed an appreciation for the natural world that remains an important inspiration to her artwork today. Tactile and textural, her sculptures highlight the chaos and beauty that can be found in simple materials. Jessica has been the recipient of several awards, including International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. Her work has been pictured in Sculpture and Interior Design magazines, as well as The Workshop Guide to Ceramics. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and is a part of several corporate collections.
