I first began teaching Basketry in the 1980’s out of my upstate NY Twining Basketry Studio. A decade later I returned to school to get a BS in Art Education and taught disciplined based art education to children in the traditional classroom setting. I’ve used my roles as both self-taught artist and classroom training to continue to teach today in a myriad of settings.
I teach Basketry classes and a Start from the Heart creative wellness art program. I call these classes my “Firestarter” classes, intended to spark someone toward a new path and/or wellness in art by presenting a variety of techniques and mediums.
