I love to learn and love to teach about what I’ve learned. This great passion has taken me through a career and education in science (molecular biology), an occupation as a seamstress, crafting obsessions with knitting and ceramics, and for the past 23 years with polymer clay. I’m passionate about helping YOU master this medium!

I’ve been writing the popular polymer clay information website, The Blue Bottle Tree, since 2012. I live in Springfield, MO, with my husband Gary, and spend way too much time deeply obsessed with figuring out how things work, and why.
