Workshop Instructor:  

Ronni created this art form; after teaching Middle School art for many years, she became a fulltime paper artist in 2000.  Ronni found she missed teaching, and didn’t realize that this unique art form would be so accessible to those who are just beginners as well as for the more experienced students. It’s fun, and different, and a really great way to spend an afternoon!
