Bonnie Albert-Dula

Class Coordinator, Instructor for Kids Classes.  Painting, crafts, Fiber Arts

Bonnie is a typical hippie fiber artist. She went to the college of trial and error in other words, she is self-taught. She started her creative journey about 35 years ago. She has created a wonderful environment to raise children. Over the years she has been in various art fairs and art shows. Now she feels it is time to pass on what I have learned to others.
