From 2010-2019, I taught classes for adults and children at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. Five week classes provided 15 hours of instruction; 10 week classes provided 30 hours of instruction. During my time there I interfaced with literally thousands of students and expanded the Textile Department’s curriculum greatly.
