North House Folk School

Elena loves cold water, tedious yet creative tasks, and stories of all kinds. Growing up in Burlington, Vermont, Elena took leaning stacks of picture books out of the library, was infatuated with cows, and enjoyed cutting scrap paper with scissors. She eventually moved on to snipping fabric, then sewing, and has been experimenting with different ways of scrappy hand-making ever since. Over the last few years, Elena has spent time going on super long walks, working on some islands, writing, studying the elusive human ecology, and facilitating mending workshops. She is delighted to be here.
