About Jillian

I began working with children at 16 years old at a summer camp where I taught ceramics (hand-building and wheel). From there I developed a love for working with children. I taught more classes at specialized art schools and institutions since 2017. My most recent classes taught were held through Rutgers Community of the Arts in the Summer of 2023. I am able to care for and divide my attention amongst several students simultaneously while keeping them engaged and under control (all while having fun, of course). I love integrating mini lessons into our conversations to make a more palatable learning experience as well as learning about the child. Just because they are children doesn't mean they shouldn't receive the same respect as an adult. Children are smart and receptive and need to be treated as such.
