I'm Lynn Hershberger.

I've been explaining and encouraging for my entire adult life. It's no surprise, then, that I've been a professional instructor since 1994. This is my "day job," it's my primary focus.

It doesn't matter if the subject is knitting, feltmaking or polymer clay... students in my classes don't just follow instructions, they learn to understand.

Click here for my current class schedule. Most classes are in Mid-Michigan.

May I Teach for You?

I'm a passionate explainer. There is nothing as satisfying as seeing the light go on in a student's eyes.

My students are knitters, crocheters, weavers, basketmakers and other fiberartists. For those who create garments, buttons are particularly important, which is where polymer clay fits in.
