  Instructor Bio: 

  Practicing fiber arts and crafts has always had a meditative quality for me and I enjoy sharing this practice with others. Teaching has been an excellent way to share my love of creating with others. I truly enjoy teaching. My students have often told me that they appreciate my patience. I believe that my 20 years of experience creating has helped me to clearly see where a student is at, and precisely what they need to learn to further their personal crafting journey.
