Alison began knitting as a teenager, and has long looked to this craft as a source of community, an ongoing chance to learn and challenge herself, and an opportunity to deepen her understanding of handmaking traditions and expression. She comes from the visual arts, and her experiences in gallery and museum education inform how she approaches her teaching: with an adventurous attitude and a strong belief in learning-by-doing.
When she’s not knitting, she finds other ways to keep her hands busy—including writing, ceramics, and nerding out about tabletop games.
