Hi! I’m Tara.
I’ve always needed to be making something. That includes a website, a piece of art, or an entire room rebuilt from the studs.
I studied art and spent 14 years teaching undergrad design and art classes. I built a career as a graphic designer and did some home renovations. Turns out I just thrive on creating, and helping others create too.
Teaching craft classes felt like the natural next step. It is a way to bring that same feeling of making something with your hands to people outside a classroom.
No art degree required, just a willingness to try.
