I am not going to lie I was very discouraged by all the festivals having to cancle this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. My heart ached not being able to participate in these events. They are the heart and souls of our communites and missing our friends we see at these events. I am thirlled that CLC is doing an online event this year.

This year the 12th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented by Harmons is going virtual! Join us in celebrating twelve years of the DIY Festival! The Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival is Utah’s largest local-centric arts festival. The DIY Festival features more than 250 local artisans, engineers, vintage vendors and craft food creators.

I've made my way working in the Arts in such places as Washington, DC, New Orleans, and Iowa City, and I've now come to roost in Salt Lake City, where I run my business – 2 dots over the i. I'm also the course scheduler for the Lifelong Learning Program at the University of Utah, teach jewelry making classes for the Smithsonian Associates, and love to travel the world with my #1 side-kick: JPM. In addition to making jewelry, one of my greatest joys is to see folks of all ages discover their own creativity and awaken their maker’s spirit."
