About the instructor

Spencer Morton

Instructor / Artist

G Spencer Morton is a dedicated individual who is passionate about living an extravagant life in the arts, from globe-trotting to trashion fashion shows. They spent five years living in London and Manchester, U.K., where they graduated in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Promotion from Manchester Metropolitan University. During their stay in the U.K., Spencer worked for various fashion names, including Paul Smith and Philip Treacy.

After exploring their passion for fashion illustration and working in art galleries, Spencer decided to fully devote their life to fashion and living fabulously. So far, they have been successful in this endeavor. After returning to Sonoma County, Spencer has made the annual Sonoma Trashion Fashion Show the centerpiece of their year. They host trashion classes, hold a year-long trashion artist residency at the SCC, and occasionally steal the show, making them the resident Trashion Icon, without whom Trashion Fashion would not be the same.

But like any phenomenon, one cannot read about Spencer to understand them.
