Tasha Miller Griffith
Flagstaff, AZ
Tasha believes that making things by hand, and sharing the skills to do so, empowers people and helps them live more joyfully and thoughtfully. Her mama gave her needles and thread when she was very small, and she was immediately drawn to textiles of all kinds. She started teaching sewing and knitting in 2008, and has continued to explore new techniques and share her fiber knowledge ever since. She wants her students to leave class not just with a project, but with enough understanding to venture further on their own. Tasha also shares free tutorials on her website (at https://tashamillergriffith.com)
