Qiqin brings the eye of a former journalist and the sensitivity of a textile artist into her teaching. Her work explores memory, identity, and language through weaving, paper yarn, fabric, and collage, inviting students to experience textiles as both a material practice and a form of storytelling.
Her teaching style feels calm, thoughtful, and approachable. With experience teaching adults, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and the general public, she knows how to adapt her guidance to different learners and create a supportive environment where students can feel comfortable trying something new.
Qiqin brings the materials and tools needed for the workshop so the class is ready to begin wherever it is held. She customizes the setup and teaching approach based on the audience, making the experience flexible, accessible, and well-suited for groups with different ages, needs, or experience levels.
