Simple String Studio

I've been a fiber arts craftsperson since I was 9 years old. It helped me channel my energy when I was becoming disabled as a child and it helped me manage stress all the way through college and grad school. After teaching college writing courses for 9 years and leaving academia, I decided to open up a fiber studio focused on teaching crochet, knitting, cross stitch, and embroidery to everyday folks looking for a hobby. The studio is an homage to all of the artists and craftspeople that have shaped my life and my husband's life. The check-out counter is made from parts of my great-grandfather's sewing machine, the peg boards that line our walls were used in my grandmother's craft store, and my father's ceramics display knitting needles and crochet hooks. We started the studio, but it belongs to our community and everyone who's brave enough to come in and learn something new.
