Bill's teaching style
He emphasizes safety in the workplace first and foremost. He teaches students the fine art of woodworking, combining techniques and aesthetics of working with wood.
Bill loves EAC because . . .
Over the past two years he has had the pleasure of teaching and working with students with a variety of skills, techniques, and unique projects. Watching them develop as woodworkers and seeing their projects come to fruition is the most rewarding part of teaching at the Evanston Art Center.
