Make something beautiful — and enjoy the process along the way.
I teach a range of fiber, textile, and mixed-media workshops that work equally well for adults, kids, or mixed-age groups. Each project is chosen for one simple reason: the results look great. These aren’t “busywork crafts” or novelty projects that get tossed in a drawer. They’re modern, tasteful, and satisfying to create, whether you’ve been crafting for years or are just getting started.
Workshops can be held at your location (perfect for birthday parties, team events, clubs, retreats, and gatherings), or you can join interest lists for upcoming classes I’ll be hosting at local venues around San Diego.
Every workshop is:
- Beginner-friendly but thoughtfully designed.
People of all skill levels can succeed—and feel proud of what they made. - Aesthetically modern and adaptable.
Kids can go bold and adults can go minimalist, or you can mix it up! Everyone gets creative freedom. - Hands-on and guided.
I bring all supplies, teach step-by-step techniques, and help each participant complete a finished project. - Accessible and enjoyable for adults, kids, or mixed groups.
Great for families, friend groups, birthday parties, and creative nights out.
Whether you’re intrigued by weaving, embroidery, beadwork, kumihimo, mini-textiles, or something new and unexpected, there’s a workshop here that will spark inspiration and leave you with a project you’ll love.
