Founder and instructor, Creative Hands Workshop
I started Creative Hands Workshop because I believe everyone is creative. Most people just haven't had a patient teacher and a table full of good supplies.
I've been making things since I was a little girl, thanks to two grandmothers who loved to create and couldn't wait to share it with me. Art was always my favorite subject in school, and over the years I've trained in everything from sewing to photography. A college internship at a florist shop turned flower arranging into a lifelong passion.
I've never met a craft I didn't want to try: acrylic painting and clay, resin art and sea glass, mosaics and beading, yarn, fabric, wire, and stone. Since I can never pick just one, I keep my options open and my studio stocked.
Now I teach beginner-friendly craft workshops that even total novices can enjoy. My classes are based in the Buxton, Maine and Chelmsford, Massachusetts areas, and I also offer private parties and take-home kits. Every class is designed so a first-timer can walk in nervous and walk out proud.
Creativity brings so much joy to my life, and I hope it brings joy to yours too.
