About this Event

Instructor - Nora Rogers

Nora is a lifelong knitter who never met a fiber art she didn't like or a machine she didn't want to take apart. Always intrigued by how things work, she has a deep understanding of yarn, fiber, and technique, and how to change parameters to get a precise finished product. As a teacher, Nora is passionate about helping others unlock new skills. She has a track record of teaching beginners of all ages, tailoring the experience to the student as they expand their knowledge. Outside of fiber arts, her experience includes mechanical engineering, 3D design, theatre, and painting.
