Quilting teacher Mel Beach explains how taking comedy improv classes has helped her to develop public speaking skills, confidence, and the ability to think on her feet, all things she’s used in her creative business.
Each year, quilt teachers, judges, quilt shop owners, museum staff, conference/show organizers, and guild representatives gather for regional Meet the Teachers (MTT) programs. Quilt teacher, Sarah Goer, describes MTT as “speed dating for quilt teachers and guild program chairs. It’s a great face-to-face opportunity to meet dozens of people in a short period of time.”
