ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
From Dorothy Yuki: Since 1964, after college, I became an owner of a manufacturing business, In Good Company. We were the suppliers to Macy's USA, William/Sonoma and military canteens throughout the world with kitchen goods...aprons, potholders, placemats, napkins and a lot of stuff and nonsense. I sold the business in 1977 and became a design and production consultant to the Fashion Industry and the entertainment production companies. I did volunteer work with the Sierra Gorda Ecological group in Mexico from 2003 to the present. I was also the master educator for the San Francisco Fashion Incubator until 2020. I have been teaching arts and crafts since 2000. I have been a President of Friends of Calligraphy and a member of Society for Calligraphy, Pacific Scribes, Portland Society for Calligraphy and Escribiente Calligraphy Society. I have been a teacher for San Francisco Center for the Book, SCRAP-sf, Ruth's Table, Letterform Archive and others here in San Francisco. I've also taught in Europe, South America and Mexico. However, at my age, I am still learning but want to pass on and share what I know.
