I taught both children and adults in textile crafts and art for almost thirty years in Finland and trained teachers in that field at the University of Helsinki. Since moving to California four years ago I've opened my own fiber art studio where I teach workshops on natural dyeing, weaving and kids' after school fiber arts. I also weave rugs from recycled materials. I embrace traditions and meld those ideas and methods with modern materials and skills. I'm committed to environmentally sustainable crafts and would like to share the joy of creating and making with you. I'm following all the cleaning and safety guidelines provided by the local authorities including face covers, cleanness and social distancing.
