About Instructor: Joan Jach

As a child, I was always outside: building forts, picking flowers, watching animals and communing with Mother Nature's spirit. I try to reclaim that feeling of complete wonder in my art and my products. My work runs a broad line between the cultivated and the wild, the well-planned success and the successful fail, the grit of real and magic of make believe. Whatever you find in my work, I hope it makes you feel full of wonder.
