The Academy For Virtual Teaching

A Community of Crafts and Art Teachers building online businesses so students everywhere get to experience the magic of creativity.

I'm Lyric Montgomery Kinard, quilter, artist, and founder of the Academy for Virtual Teaching. I've spent years helping creative teachers move from camera-shy to confident, from "who am I to teach this" to fully booked.

If you're an artist, quilter, crafter, or maker, with something to teach, you can expect real talk on camera confidence, building your first course, simplifying the tech, and growing a sustainable teaching business without the hype or the overwhelm. 

Whether you're just starting to dream about teaching online or you've been at it for years and want to reach more students, you'll find honest, practical help here. We keep things easy and simple so you can spend less time on tech and more time teaching.

You don't need to be the biggest name in your field. You need a clear next step, and that's what this channel offers, week after week.
