ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Sophie has been felting for over a decade, and crafting ever since she was old enough to accidentally cut a hole in the couch with kid scissors. She started her Seattle-based craft business, GnoMoreMrFungi, to create more joy-filled craft spaces, and to fulfill her lifelong dream of filling the world with tiny felted objects.

Past workshop participants have described her workshops in the following ways:

"super accessible and easy to learn for a beginner, and Sophie was a very kind and relatable teacher!"

"I enjoyed that the directions were clear and simple! Like in such a short amount of time I learned something new and got to take home a cute lil guy, so incredible! Also Sophie was so nice and helpful and delightful"

"I really enjoyed learning a new skill in an inclusive & supportive environment, how well the workshop was run, and how thoughtful & simple the instructions were"
