Teaching
Starting in 1979 Waters studied with legendary German type designer Hermann Zapf, who in 1984 asked the 27 year old Julian to substitute and teach his two-week masterclass at Rochester Institute of Technology. Waters succeeded Zapf in 1989.
In the 1990s Waters combined the hand and computer, teaching “Letterform Design” for second year Graphic Design students at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington DC. Since 1978 he has taught specialized seminars on lettering and design attended by calligraphers and graphic designer all over U.S.A, Canada, Asia and Europe and has taught and lectured at institutions including Cooper Union, New York, Sunderland University and Imperial College, London.
In 2006 Waters was the keynote speaker at *Letterforum*, part of the 26th International Calligraphy Conference, at James Madison University .

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“Mrs. Zajac knows you didn’t try. You don’t just hand in junk to Mrs. Zajac. She’s been teaching an awful lot of years. She didn’t fall off the turnip cart yesterday. She told you she was an old-lady teacher.”
—Christine Zajac, U.S. fifth-grade teacher. As quoted in Among Schoolchildren, “September” section, part 1, by Tracy Kidder (1989)
“... teaching to me was anathema, chiefly because it would condemn me to a world of petticoats.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
