Beth Moss Aisenbrey is a great lover of experimentation, play, and wool. Most of her time is spent teaching at a 100% outdoor forest school with 3-12 year olds, tending a small flock of heritage fiber sheep, and experimenting with wool and thread. Crafting with children brings together all her greatest joys as she gets to share her knowledge and skills, as well as be continuously inspired by their creative thinking, challenged by new ways of seeing the craft, and belly laughing through the process.
