I am primarily a maker, but from time to time I do enjoy teaching. I used to run a large number of classes, both from my studios and at other locations such as the Brookfield Craft Center, Old Sturbridge Village, plus a number of Historical Societies and Museums.

In recent years I haven’t had much time available to teach, so I don’t have any classes scheduled for the foreseeable future. Having more orders than I can keep up with is a wonderful problem to have! For now I am only teaching a limited number of subjects as Classes by Mail, because I can fit in online student support at odd times, early in the morning and late at night. I’m leaving my class information here as a place holder. If and when my work load slows down, I’ll begin scheduling classes again at my studios.
