My interest in clay started back in middle school in Cambridge when I was watching my longtime friend, Ric Lamore, throwing pots. It was mesmerizing to see and I knew I had to find a way to get my hands on the potter's wheel. I took a tour at Rowe Pottery and at that point I was hooked.

Once I was in high school I took all the ceramics classes offered at Cambridge, and everything I could at Madison College after that. In 2015 I was fortunate enough to be able to start working as a potter at Ephraim Pottery in Lake Mills, and have been loving every minute of it since. While teaching wheel throwing I have found great enjoyment in helping others learn, and can't wait to find that with more people!

Hello! My name is Erin and I have been stabbing wool since 2018.
The first, and only, needle felting class I took was right here in Cambridge. I quickly fell in love with the art and found it to be very therapeutic. I also loved that it was such a forgiving art form.
I now teach needle felting classes in various cities in the area as well as my store, The Wood and Wool Shop, located in Jefferson, WI.

A little about myself...
I was born and raised in Racine and while I enjoyed art, I embraced my athletic talents during my school years...track and field, basketball, powerlifting, volleyball and taekwondo.
It wasn't until my mid 20's that I started to discover my creative side again. I was influenced by (late) husband, Tim, and my children to explore knitting, woodworking, crafting and painting.

Fast forward a bit, I now live in Cambridge with my husband, Dan, and our 4 children.
Between kids, sports, scouts, the shop and classes, we stay pretty active...that's probably why I enjoy needle felting so much! The repetitive stabbing of wool is oddly therapeutic, even the noise is soothing!
But don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself!
I look forward to getting stabby with you!

As a passionate maker and a very hands-on person, I have a strong desire to learn and explore various crafts. Throughout my life, I have dabbled in cooking, baking, painting etc. However, I discovered a particular passion for wood burning, where I found joy in creating intricate henna and mandala patterns. Alongside my creative endeavors, I have also a strong desire for sharing my skills with others. I am a skilled creator who revels in hands on craftmanship, a passionate educator who imparts knowledge, an artistic soul who thrives on connecting with others.

Jacy is not only an instructor, but the owner and founder of Art Hub! She is versed in many different art forms, including macrame and ceramics. 

I grew up on a farm in SE Wisconsin and lived all over the US as a military wife. A printmaking course at Carroll College inspired me to “do art”. Working at an art supply shop allowed me to try a variety of mediums. I left retail to do art fairs and commercial/residential murals and faux finishing, gallery representation and art licensing.

Moving to the east coast gave me the opportunity for instruction with Al Staszesky who taught Painting in the Loper tradition. “Color next to color and paint the color you see” I like to add— “It’s just paint. Be bold with your brush”.

Mary is a fiber artist specializing in feltmaking who came to the art through thirty years of raising sheep near Cambridge, WI. She enjoys showing people the magic of feltmaking. She is a member of the Black Hawk Artists group of Fort Atkinson.

I love to teach! It is a wonderful experience for me to teach new skills to students and get them excited about making art! The work that students make inspires me to make my own art.

Experiences in my life, especially the busy life I lead with my family, are often the foundation of ideas for my work. I am proud to call Fort Atkinson my home and to share my talents in the surrounding communities. I enjoy working with handmade paper, mixed media and natural materials to create handmade books, journals, cards and collages. I also paint and create concrete mosaic sculptures. As a life-long learner, I am always interested in exploring new techniques and especially enjoy collaborating on projects.
