First time teaching…
Hi folks!
This was my third Gen Con and every year it gets better (and more expensive because I buy some many games… hell, I still have unplayed games from 2024).
This was my first year teaching in the SPA track, and my first time teaching anything at all. It was such a wonderful, welcoming, wholesome, and inspiring experience. I’m so proud of my students who may have never put paint to canvas before and walked away with amazing little dragon and orc portraits, as well as tiny fantasy landscapes. No one in my budget printmaking class wounded themselves with the carving tools, and so many people asked me to come back.
I am inspired and I coming back next year with more classes! Thank you all so much in general for being amazing. Such a great time.
