Hello! I am a dedicated art teacher in an elementary school in Wentzville, MO. I teach around 400 students a week. The most exciting projects for my students are those outside of the box, three-dimensional, building, sculpting, printing, sewing...anything that is different from just coloring or cutting. My students have shown a dramatic increase in fiber art. I have introduced them to needle felting, hand sewing, and dying fabric. I would love to give them the opportunity to use a sewing machine to help them with their fantastic fiber projects.
