About the Instructor:

Mari is a lover of things that last with a dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability at her core. In a world of “cheap and fast”, she strives daily to push back against the pressure of big corporations and consumer culture by imbuing her life and work with long lasting and durable beauty. Mari aims to inspire those around her by living slower and focusing on minimizing the impact on the health of our planet. She has the desire to open doors for others creatively and eliminate the fear of the struggling artist amongst her peers. Mari enjoys many mediums including stained glass, woodworking, welding, wood burning, leather-crafting, sewing, block carving + printing and playing the banjo. But being the student of the world that she is, she hopes to accumulate as many useful skills and crafts as she can. Next, she wants to venture into ceramics, furniture building, carpentry and whatever else she can get her hands on.
