INSTRUCTOR
Will Dickinson grew up in Alexandria, VA and Washington, DC, where he was exposed to the arts at a young age. This influenced his decisions to pursue an education at the University of Pennsylvania College of Arts and Sciences and the Glasgow School of Art, where he majored in Fine Arts and Anthropology, graduating with high honors. Will was a guest artist in Umbria, Italy for two years, which informed his artistic works and inspired him to become an instructor. For over a decade he has taught indoor and outdoor classes. Will is currently an instructor with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay, WI, where he maintains a studio.
