  • Hannah

    Teacher

    Hi, I’m Hannah (she/her)! I’ve worked in childcare for 8 years and am a lifelong lover of all things arts and crafts. I am fascinated by the limitless bounds of imagination and strive to nurture it in children and adults alike! I feel best when I can help kids build fantastical things like fairy homes, pirate ships, and mythological miniatures! In my spare time I enjoy working outside, reading, and creative writing.

    Teacher

    My name is Fitz (they/them), and I am a former classroom teacher with experience teaching across other artistic styles such as theatre and dance.
