Steven Shust
Youth Instructor
Steven Shust joined Sitka in 2025, delivering Sitka’s K8 Create lessons to North Coast kids.
A public school classroom teacher and educator for the past twenty years, Steven brings a love of learning, art and nature to his classes. As a transplant from Philadelphia, he and his family have made the North Coast their home since 2018; enjoying the surf, mountains and gentle passing of the seasons. When he’s not having fun teaching art, you can find Steven pulling weeds in his garden.
