Creating Community Through Craft: Connection, Awareness and Social Change

This Fall I will be teaching a couple of jewelry classes here in Portland, Oregon in collaboration with Skillshare at the 100th Monkey Studio. The 100th Monkey Studio opened it's doors six years ago with the intention to create community, through an open studio model, which gives every human being interested in art a place to come create. To read more about the inspiration behind their business name go to:http://the100thmonkeystudio.com/our-story.html.

I was introduced to Skillshare by fellow artist Christine Claringbold, http://www.etsy.com/shop/eyepopart, whom I took an Etsy Selling Class from a few years back. Inspired by Skillshare's mission to encourage people with passions in a particular subject to teach others what they love, I joined the Portland Skillshare teaching community. Be curious, read more about the Skillshare manifesto: http://www.skillshare.com/about/manifesto

Please join me this Fall, as I embark on an exciting teaching journey. If you or someone you know are interested in learning more about sustainable jewelry making techniques and/or practices, my classes may be of interest. All are welcome and encouraged to come with an open mind, curiosity of spirit and a willingness to share in this experience with myself and other.
