Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a former K-12 Art Teacher who loves to teach drawing, painting, weaving, ceramics/pottery, and paper crafts.
I enjoy sharing my skills with children of various ages and watch their amazement at what they CAN accomplish.
Many students (and adults) feel they are not very good at art. I break down my lessons into small steps for anyone to create a masterpiece!
I love to read, sew, and create art with my 10 year old daughter!
