Upcoming Classes/Events
Erik Vevang
Erik has been spoon carving since 2013. Introduced to carving by his wife Michele, the two have taken numerous carving classes and been featured in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as Makers of the North competition.
As a carpenter, woodworker and graduate with a BA in Studio Art from St. Olaf College, spoon carving has been the perfect way for Erik to explore the intersection of art and craft.
Leslie Perrine
Leslie Perrine is an illustrator and book artist living in St. Paul, MN. She loves making up creatures and the worlds in which they live.
Leslie creates comics, zines, pop-up
books, clay creatures, illustrations and anything that can tell a small story. Her love of the arts has spanned through decades of arts organizing, tabling at events, and exhibiting in shows.
Katherine Buenger
Katherine enjoys many fiber-related arts, including weaving, spinning, ply-split braiding, button making, and braiding with Sami tin thread. Whether it is spinning the yellow pages, computer tape, or adding telephone wire to weavings, she likes finding something different and fun to do with her art. She is not afraid to break the rules and try something new, and encourages others to do the same.
