It was a paper making class during my sophomore year in college that sparked my love for paper. Many years later, a program at my public library opened my eyes to the world of paper quilling. My love and interest for two of my favorite things, paper and crafting, started in classrooms.
So naturally, I found myself being drawn to the idea of teaching others. Teaching these workshops and being able to share my knowledge with other enthusiastic people, who are excited to learn new things, has been quite an experience. It's been a lot of fun and I'm hopeful that, maybe, it will spark the same kind of love and interest in someone else.
