About
I have had over 21 years sewing/beading and more than 10 years of experience teaching students to find their creative side. I teach camp and after-school class, with ages 5-12, and I have taught a sewing camp for the past 5 years for ages 11-14. I have been teaching beadweaving classes since 2004 and have opened up my home studio to teach young and old my love of both sewing and beading. I teach at Spruill Center for the Arts, You Gotta Have Art, and I taught sewing classes at JoAnn Etc. for over a year. I have been published more than 20 times in various beading magazines, including Bead & Button and Beadwork.
Having grown up in an artistic household, I have always been passionate about creating things with my hands. Starting with my dollhouse as a child and finding true love with sewing and beading. I love being able to create whatever you need using the materials that speak to you and making it custom fit for you! Helping others find that passion keeps me going and brings me joy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I try to assess their current knowledge and start at that point. I give them pointers and tips along the way and I show patience with every step. I always stop to make sure they understand what I am saying and will go over anything they have trouble learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I teach weekly classes to adults for beading and teach regular after-school classes and camps. I have been doing that for the past 10 years. In my spare time I am either beading or sewing.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $40 per hour. That price may vary if there are more than one student at a time.
