There, she immediately fell in love with the art form and the making process as a whole. While at university, Headline studied abroad and attended the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland in their painting and printmaking program. Upon her return stateside she was an active member in the ceramic program at UW-Stout acting as a teachers assistant and studio aid. For two summers between semesters, she apprenticed in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) with Kevin CaufieId. Headline eventually graduated cum laude in 2013 receiving a BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in ceramics.
