Since 2020, Laura’s teaching practice has pivoted to being online via Zoom.  This transition allows her to work from home on her remote sustainable farm in northern Wisconsin, while reaching students across the country as well as Canada and beyond–building community across borders and social strata to liberate the creative soul.  

From a humble start, Laura’s classes and courses have blossomed into a beautifully immersive teaching practice that serves nearly a dozen different organizations, as well as offerings she hosts directly.  As a saught-after interdisciplinary arts educator, Laura’s passion and dedication for her fields of interest have garnered her a reputation for the highest quality and caliber.

With a personable nature, storyteller’s style, and inclusive attitude, Laura has built a class community of trust and mentorship that is both supportive and nurturing.

Special attention to detail for project kits and support materials fosters a successful learning experience from start to finish.  With hundreds of classes to more than 1,000 students via Zoom now under her belt, Laura’s process has become honed and confident within the field of bringing fiber arts and creative education to the online sphere.  She helps you feel like you’re right there with her in the cozy Fiber Loft of her farm, with adorable updates about lambing season or exciting news about what’s coming up next.

Depth and breadth of skills, process discipline, the “why” of each step, and practice-earned pro tips are signatures of Laura’s teaching style.  Her dedication to study, improvement, diversification, and excellence bring a roundedness to her curriculum that crosses genres, cultures, and eras.  Her interdisciplinary approach means students have a real master leading her class, with over 25 years of arts training and experience.

Learning with Laura is not just about the “how to’s” of the medium.  During the class, she weaves in intersectionality with history, mythology, biology, culture, creative process, ballads, and more.  “I never thought I’d learn so much about [add the subject here]” is a common comment during a course, as layered depth and meaning-making connect hands, minds, and hearts on the learning journey.
