Teach. Share. Inspire.

Teach

I love sharing my bagmaking tips and tricks with others. I can come to your store or guild and develop a class that works for the level of experience or time that you have available. I aim for everyone to leave with a completed project and be proud of what they made.

I can speak to your guild or creative group about my experiences, but I also have 2 possible topics to present.

1) love to talk about what inspires or pushes us creatively to develop as artists. Ideas are everywhere - but we just need to sit down and create!

2) How do we adapt as artists as we age and our bodies or lives change? How do changes in environment, tools, methods or attitude allow us to continue to create?
