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:
“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Teaching creativity to your child isn’t like teaching good manners. No one can paint a masterpiece by bowing to another person’s precepts about elbows on the table.”
—Gurney Williams III (20th century)
“Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling,
Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
