Learners will set the pace and choose how they spend their time. This is a great class for kids who want to meet up with other brick enthusiasts, play, have fun, and maybe learn some new tricks with no restrictions or requirements. All I ask is that learners come with their bricks ready to have fun! Each class will start with some brief introductions and greetings. Then learners will be allowed to play as a group or individually, build new projects and get some help or suggestions as they need/want. Learners are encouraged to use their imagination to build their own projects individually or as a group and share what they have built. However, while participating/interacting with other learners is encouraged, it is not a requirement. Learners are free to come and just observe without interacting with other learners. I have a policy that I do not mute learners unless there is excessive noise that prevents other learners from being heard. If this happens, learners are welcome to unmute themselves as soon as the speaker has finished or the excessive noise has finished (i.e. background noise) If you would like a more structured class, please check out my other brick classes where I work with learners to create a specific project each week with step-by-step instructions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a bachelor’s degree in special education, along with additional training in teaching the arts and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). With over 20 years of experience working with children, I’ve been a certified teacher, a homeschool mom, and an educator for diverse age groups and subjects. My teaching background spans from severe-profound special education preschool to honors high school, but my greatest passion lies in the arts and creative education. I specialize in drawing, brick building, elementary literacy, special education, and baking—I even own a small bakery!
Art has always been close to my heart, and I love exploring various mediums, including drawing, paper crafts, oil paints, and acrylics. Art is not just a form of expression but also a way to build creativity and confidence. In my teaching, I focus on developing skills, exploring techniques, and inspiring others to find joy in creating unique works of art.
Reading and writing are equally important to me. I enjoy delving into different genres and using storytelling to spark imagination. Teaching literacy allows me to help students express themselves while building essential skills. My goal is to make reading exciting and writing an empowering form of creativity.
Baking is another passion I’m thrilled to share. Teaching baking classes allows me to bring people together through the joy of creating something delicious. From learning essential techniques to exploring creative recipes, I strive to make every class approachable, fun, and rewarding.
Outside the classroom, my husband and I enjoy adventures with our three children, whether camping, hiking, visiting the park, doing arts and crafts, or playing board games as a family.
I can’t wait to bring creativity and joy to our class—see you soon!
