Jennifer Ryan is an award-winning published crochet designer who has many years of teaching experience with all ages in a wide variety of art and academic settings. Her crochet designs can be seen in several crochet publications, on her blog, “Celtic Knot Crochet” and in her Etsy Shop.  Jennifer’s specialty is combining Celtic Knots with crochet (a technique she  created) and has enjoyed teaching several crochet classes in Ireland, New  Orleans and New Hampshire for various crochet conferences and workshops. For some of these events she also organized and implemented large-scale Yarn Bombs (crochet as art on display in an urban or unexpected setting) to greet and inspire the attendees. Jennifer has also taught crochet via Zoom but says, “There’s nothing like being in-person and being in the room when a student’s face lights up with confidence as they accomplish a goal.” She also enjoys spending time outdoors, rollerblading, kayaking and photographing wildlife.
