Classes and Workshops

I teach classes and private lessons that encourage natural observation; awareness of color, shape, and texture; and finding joy in being a beginner. Making paper flowers is quite tactile and meditative, which leads to a mindful state and enjoyable sensory awareness. I also promote a spirit of play through including paper flower skills that are delightful, such as making confetti pollen or aquarium tubing stems.

As my own life has shown, art can be for anyone! I try to be aware of participants’ challenges and provide constant feedback and access to assistance.
