About Our Teaching Artist:

Growing up in Ojai as a child of an artist and school teacher, I have been a crafter all my life. In the last 7 years I have enjoyed playing around with knots and creating macrame pieces. My recent passion is recreating lamp shades, although I love to design hangings and repurpose jars into luminaries and vases. My business name is Knot for Now.
