What do you like most about do you like most about teaching at the Crafts Center?
I love teaching at the Crafts Center because I have students, staff, and faculty of NCSU along with community members in my classes. The unique blend of students are all on the same level in the studio. That challenge to hierarchical understanding promotes learning in ways that upholds individuals and builds community.
