Education is my favorite part of this business. Much of my time is either developing new classes or in classrooms sharing knowledge with students all over the country.

As an instructor, I am noted as an organized and clear teacher.  I pace the classes so that there is a balance between lecture and work time. I am very hands on so I like to give enough time to walk around and help students as needed. I offer both technique classes and project classes to allow for a variety of options. In addition, I am happy to talk about class customizing, arrange for a book signing and/or trunk show of my patterns and books. Just ask about the options when you inquire.

Class lengths range from 3 to 6 hours. The longer classes are designed to enable the students to continue lesson between sessions in order to be ready at the start of the next session. They are also designed to allow for a larger range of skill sets. Classes include discussion, handouts, and worksheets which will allow for the student to continue the project outside the classroom.
