#howilearned

I've been traveling all week, so I'm very far behind with #marchmeetthemaker . I've missed some fun prompts, but let's cover a few days with #howilearned and #workspace . .... I've spent the last few months getting my studio set up for guests..! .I'm so excited to be teaching stained glass here at my home workspace. I have a few spots left for the spring workshops here at my studio in NJ. I'll also be teaching a beginner stainedglass weekend in Pennsylvania @touchstonecenterforcrafts. I can't wait for this immersive beginner experience!!! I definitely think stainedglass is a craft that is best learned hands on with a mentor.. I learned almost twenty years ago from Artist Jim Pinto at local studio Northeast Stained Glass in Newton NJ.

#marchmeetthemaker prompt no.14 #howilearned — after attending RISD but before moving to Minneapolis I spent a couple of years studying with three amazingly hard working and dedicated artists at @parkland_college in #champaignillinois — Laura M. O’Donnell who taught the continuing education classes in ceramics, Chris Berti who has a wealth of knowledge technically and historically gifted me with more knowledge than I could absorb at the time, and the late great Louis Ballard who is my role model as a ceramics instructor to this day. I owe a great deal to these three people for allowing me to work alongside them and for putting up with my demanding and intensely curious personality! — #ceramics #clay #pottery #contemporarycraft #contemporaryceramics (at Parkland College) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvAP404ABbL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dwd720f48x0p

Yarnlovechallenge How I Learned: There's two answers to that one. First I learned how to knit, sew, crochet and cross stitch from my mom as a child, but lost interest as a teenager. When I was pregnant with my son, I felt the urge to make things for him, so I bought a beginner's book for knitting and crochet each and taught myself again. The internet, youtube and Ravelry did the rest. #yarnlovechallenge #yarnlovechallengemay #knitter #knitting #crochet #knitstagram #aboutme #howilearned
