Upcoming Events
My baskets, kits, supplies and patterns can be purchased online, on my Etsy page and at various retreats. You will also find my finished baskets, alcohol ink art, photography, and wire wrap work (often one of a kinds) at The Art Farm in downtown Decatur, Illinois.
Upcoming Teaching Events
If you are attending any of these events and would like to pre-order any supplies, please contact me. I am happy to bring what you need and save you the cost of shipping! If I am not listed as a vendor I normally participate in Teacher’s Marketplace.
