Carolyn has been a jewelry artist since 2000. More than 10 years ago she learned about kumihimo, the Japanese art of braid making, and it has become her greatest passion. In addition to teaching regionally, she has taught online courses for the American Kumihimo Society and at their 2018 Gathering conference in Orlando, FL. She is the past co-chair for the Pittsburgh Bead Society, OCBPA, and had a project published in the Bead and Button’s Kumihimo Fiber and Bead Jewelry special issue. Last year she finally took up knitting! Find out more at www.topcenter.typepad.com.
