I am a paper maker. I have learned a lot while making paper over the years and enjoy sharing this fun and rewarding craft with others. It has been especially fun to find ways to recycle waste fiber into usable paper. I also weave baskets and have taught basic basket weaving classes intermittently as well. As a homeschool mom for more than 30 years, I had many opportunities to share these skills with others in various settings.
