Welcome to my online classroom

Weaving brings me joy, and teaching others what I've learned gives me purpose. While nothing can replace the in-person weaving instruction experience--and I hope to be back at that soon--I believe there are subjects I teach that lend themselves to a remote format.

In addition to offering online programs and workshops for guilds and conferences, I am venturing into online classes for individuals, and here is where you will find them.

I invite you to get acquainted with my teaching style and this new online platform by enrolling in the introductory class below: Color, Pattern, Shape Part 1: Harnessing Fiber Art Design Ideas. If you like what you see, check back for other offerings to come. If there is a particular subject you would like to see here, or you are interested in an online program/workshop for your guild, please let me know. Email Karen

I'll see you in class!
