Earth Mama Crafts

Hi! I’m Ellen.I’ve always felt most at home among the oak trees of Central Texas. My love for the natural world led me to study Plant and Soil Science and build a career in environmental conservation, organic agriculture, and sustainability.After years of farming, corporate leadership, and chasing success that never quite felt fulfilling, I chose a different path—one rooted in creativity, community, and connection. That journey brought me back to the things that have always nourished me: plants, making things by hand, sharing knowledge, and spending time outdoors.Today, I teach hands-on classes that help people reconnect with nature and their own creativity. My workshops explore herbalism, seasonal living, botanical crafts, natural body care, tea blending, candle making, kitchen medicine, food preservation, and simple rituals for bringing more intention into everyday life. Whether we're crafting herbal remedies, learning about local plants, or creating something beautiful with our hands, my goal is to make these skills approachable, practical, and joyful.I believe that making things ourselves—whether it's a cup of tea, a healing salve, a loaf of bread, or a meaningful ritual—helps us build a deeper relationship with the Earth, our communities, and ourselves.This space is for curious minds, plant lovers, makers, gardeners, and anyone longing for a slower, more connected way of living. Come learn, create, and grow with me.
