Many people have an interest in learning new skills, particularly in the creative realm, but often times, they feel intimidated about their ability to express themselves creatively. What I offer as a fiber arts teacher is the ability to help facilitate creative expression in a comforting, non judgmental environment, in an atmosphere where patience is the key element to fostering creative growth. The teaching focus is placed on what the person is interested in exploring through techniques and material. The idea being that the student sets their own pace and that no expectation is placed on the need for a finished product, it is their journey in discover through process. It is imperative that the student has the opportunity to explore the advantages of mistakes as discoveries that are not judged in terms of positive nor negative, but creative learning experiences. No analytic interpretation is expressed about their work. Constructive guidance is offered about technique and material choice based on the project that is to be undertaken.I offer one on one instruction or small group workshops. These private lessons or workshops can be simply based on learning a technique or focus on a particular project. They can also be free form based on a given material that a student wishes to use.Specialties: weaving on rigid heddle or harness loom.
