Elizabeth Spannring - Résumé

TEACHING OBJECTIVE
Through teaching I strive to share my knowledge and passion of quiltmaking with others, to foster an environment in which a student can successfully explore a new technique and to encourage creativity and expertise in each individual.
JUDGING OBJECTIVE
To fairly evaluate quilts and wearable arts, recognizing the creativity and expertise of each individual and through precise and constructive comments I strive to encourage quiltmakers to improve and expand their artistry, creativity and workmanship.
