Meet Mrs. Pfenn

My artistic journey began in my family's kitchen, where creativity was a daily activity. As my mother made dinner, my siblings and I would gather around the table, exploring making little crafts with stamps, markers, cards, beads, and stickers. I remember time spent hiding under my mother's quilting frame, watching each stitch being placed carefull

While my passion for art took root in these early experiences, I recognize that fewer students today have similar opportunities for creative expression at home. Through my Crafts classes, I aim to bridge this gap by providing students with skills and techniques that extend past their graduation date.

Each creative discipline offers life lessons. Woodworking can cultivate perseverance while weaving develops intricate attention to detail. By embedding the Studio Habits of Mind into each lesson, the students develop a toolset for creative problem-solving and self-expression. My ultimate goal is to empower them to discover a creative outlet that provides solace and joy in an increasingly demanding world.
