Hello! My name is Nancy Macali. I have been teaching for 47 years and taught high school for 35 years. Throughout my retirement I have continued to give workshops and guest lectures. My love of fibers started in my youth living next-door to my grandmother. She taught me to knit, sew, and garden. I continued my pursuit of fiber knowledge throughout college to present day.
As an artist and creator, I am skilled in weaving, knitting, felting, dyeing, spinning, sewing, and other various techniques. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with others and encourage the exchange of creative discourse.
