• How long have you been teaching your course work? This will be one of the first classes in wire work I will be teaching and I’m excited to share my information and pass on some usable skills to the class.

• What do you like most about creating? The personal extension of myself and the piece of myself that I leave with each piece I create and how that affects the people that own a piece of that work.

• Where do you create? I create in my basement studio. It’s a relatively small cozy space with wall to wall supplies, books and a 6 foot table.

• What will a student learn in my class? The students will learn about the different gauges of wire, which ones best work for what purpose, how to weave and wrap wire and create a piece of jewelry.

• Are you taking a class yourself? Not now. The next class I take will be a metalsmithing one. The one after that will be glass blowing.

• What does creating do for me? Creating for me is living my “truth”…..simply.
