Joanna has taught fiber arts at the Madison Knitting Guild, Scotts Bluff Valley Fiber Arts Fair, Boulder Handweaver’s Guild, Loopy Ewe Spring Fling, Northern Colorado Weaving Guild, and various local yarn shops such as Ewe Count, Wild Purls, and Your Daily Fiber. Joanna was featured on PBS Knitting Daily TV and has also taught online for Interweave Workshops and DVDs. Her work has been published in Jane Austen Knits, Spin-Off, Knitting Traditions, Knitty, Farm and Fiber Knits, Knitscene, and Piecework magazines.
Laurel Barr first picked up a needle and thread when she was 3, and has been crafting ever since. She has a BA in Studio Art and Dance from the University of Northern Colorado, and is a certified aerial yoga instructor, professional aerial performer, dance teacher, and UPK forest preschool teacher. When she isn’t dancing, she can be found pursuing her favorite creative arts: crochet, lace tatting, embroidery, bookbinding, knitting, drawing, and jewelry-making. Laurel’s artwork has been published in Little Women Knits and Sherlock Knits, along with Piecework, Filament, and Spin-Off magazines.
