These are a group of people I am inspired by and who are dedicated and share in the ability create with their hands. They create their space to be welcoming. They make for people who value the color and textures they work with. They create spaces and materials that people cherish.  

I started on my own with people I know when I shared a studio and then got assignments to continue the work.  AARP ran some for a few months covering makers in Cleveland, Toledo, Atlanta, NYC. This is ongoing.
