MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
ANDREA WEISS
Andrea Weiss has taught art to K-12 students and campers in Virginia and North Carolina for over 20 years and currently teaches at the Career Center in Winston-Salem. Weiss loves to challenge her students to think of materials and techniques in new ways and do things they didn’t think were possible. In her own creative work, she loves to combine materials including fabric, clay, yarn, and found objects with techniques like weaving, sewing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking in new and unexpected ways.
