You know your craft inside and out, but do you have the chops to teach it? Whether you’re running a craft school, creating a new school, or just ready to teach, this is the podcast for you. On “Teach With Your Hands,” we’ll talk with successful instructors and administrators about how they got where they are, advice on how to start teaching, challenges they're facing now and what's needed from the next generation of teachers and students.
Matt Kenney on how his background in Philosophy has influenced the way he teaches woodworking. We cover how to tell if you’re ready for teaching, debate whether you can learn to be a good designer, and Matt reveals the woodworking skills he finds most challenging to teach.
Chris Gochnour on how providing a fun experience is at the heart of his teaching. We cover how students have changed in the last 30 years, what Chris misses about doing commissioned work now that he’s teaching full time, and why you need to start teaching before you feel like you know everything.
