Hi Lauren. Thanks for the subscribe, comment, and question. I was asked to teach an evening class many years ago, I think the faculty were desperate for teachers. I kept getting classes here and there. I went back to school to get an MFA, then started applying for open tenure positions.

Office Hours | Christopher Thornock | Substack
Office Hours is where I, Chris Thornock, spill the good stuff from years of teaching, drawing, and figuring it out as I go. Itβs part advice column, part studio confessionalβfor anyone trying to make ...
Something new!
I just launched a Substack called OFFICE HOURS, a newsletter about the creative process, making a living as an artist, and all the weird, wonderful stuff that happens in the studio and sometimes the classroom. Free!
