About the instructor, Amanda Hanson: I graduated from Central Washington University in 2013 with a BFA specializing in studio arts. My primary art mediums are needle felting and watercolor, but I also work with and teach a variety of other mediums. The inspiration for my artwork comes primarily from nature here in the Pacific Northwest. I like being able to use my art as a tool for educating the public on lesser known or misunderstood species. I have been teaching since 2016, it is one of my favorite parts about being an artist. I love seeing my students grow as individuals and improving their skills.
