YOUR TUTOR
Elizabeth formally studied painting, but would go home at night and spend hours drawing caricatures of people and strange, little animals. Much later, she made friends with her sewing machine and became a quilter... and this is where the fun began. Later still, Elizabeth moved into working with felt. Playing with fabric, felt and wool... she loves it all!
Qualified as an elementary teacher, art teacher, and yoga instructor, Elizabeth finds joy in interactions with students of all ages.
