No experience is needed - just curiosity, a creative mood, and a willingness to slow down and enjoy the process.

 

My own curiosity about nature drives the art I create, and I want to share that sense of wonder with you! You don’t have to consider yourself “creative” to participate—simply creating is a rewarding act in itself. Every stroke, stitch, or mark helps you learn, grow, and discover your personal style. The most important step is to just start! We’re often our own toughest critics, but with practice, your skills—and your confidence—will flourish. Let me guide you, encourage you, and share fascinating insights about our subjects that deepen your understanding and make the creative process even more inspiring.

 

If your organization, business, school, event, or group of friends would like to host a workshop, I’d love to connect, hear your ideas, and create a session tailored just for you! Here are some ideas:

 

• Craft night with friends - watercolor or felting
  • (Try a new medium without buying the materials)
• Bachelorette party sculpting activity

  • (We can make anything...)

• Felting on clothing
  • (Everyone brings a sweater, hat, denim jacket, or cloth bag to decorate)
• Family tradition - making ornaments together
  • (Make felt sculptures or pictures of your pets, or decorate dryer balls to hang as ornaments)
• Watercolor greeting cards

  • (Make your own holiday or birthday cards to send to friends and family)    

• Kid's wet-felting coasters at a birthday party
  • (No needles - safe and fun, can be given as gifts)
