I have a background in Art History and work as teacher in the Two’s Room at Gorton Children’s Learning Center. In my free time\, I love being creative and exploring different crafts\, with a special passion for wet and needle felting. What I enjoy most about felting is that it allows you to create so many beautiful things from simple materials like wool\, water\, and soap. I also find the repetitive movements calming and relaxing\, making felting a wonderful way to unwind while creating something unique by hand.
