For those who already have some experience with this skill, this class is the next level up for more mature project making. Recommended for intermediate and advanced finger knitted. Yarn and some imagination is all you need to participate in this weekly club. Together, we will strategize a variety approaches to make your wildest finger knitted ideas come to life. We are going to refine our skills, aiming for more consistent stitches, shape, and technique. As you may know, this is a repetitive activity that requires a little bit of patience. This class is recommended for learners with finger knitting experience who are interested in creating more advanced works such as rugs, blankets, scrunchies, etc.! Many of the connecting steps will include a bit of weaving techniques as well, as we progress to more ambitious designs. This is a completely interactive class, welcoming and celebrating learner input. Projects can be completed within one class, or continued later; learner’s preference
Learning Goals
Refined finger knitting technique, and continuity will be addressed and encouraged each week. Participants will have their choice of finished product, or multiple works. We will cover changing yarn and colors, assembling multiple pieces together, and using the textile as an outer layer for other materials, as needed. Bring a project in a any stage, as we work independently; together. Essentially, we have modernized version of a sewing circle.

Hello, Art enthusiasts! I am a multi-disciplinary artist working in New York City. As a teaching artist, I have been working in Public school in-school residency programs for the past nineteen years(!)...most recently with a concentration in Visual Arts. Many of these partnerships involved very direct coordination with students’ academic teachers, so that the Art projects enriched comprehension. I prioritize recyclable materials, and their environmental importance. I have extensions experience with literacy, and STEM-based residencies, in particular.
Over the past few years I have worked with every age, from early childhood to high school. I have seen first hand, how the affects of arts education through residency partnerships transform and enhance students’ lives. I am often very inspired by the creativity and commitment young students bring to these projects. In addition to Visual Art, I teach music composition, ‘Cello, and Guitar.
I am an alumna of the Juilliard School and the Teaching Artist Project. My supporting teacher experience at the Rudolph Steiner School in Manhattan combines Waldorf ideology with these other skills. I am on the NYC DOE substitute teacher roster. This mixture of public and private practice has prepared me to serve students from a wide range of backgrounds.
I try to incorporate physical balance into art making, often a skill that is considered “inactive”. Over the past two years my mindful Art workshops have been requested by public schools and administrative teams across NYC. I have worked extensively with groups and individuals on the spectrum, and as a Visual Art Consultant for students dealing with trauma.
I am a 2020 Legacy Arts Project recipient, and recently received the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable Teaching Artist Grant.Reviews
