Hello, My name is Teri Showman. I was born and raised in Bentonsport, and I currently am raising my children here. I am a single mom of two wonderful kids, Brooke 21 and Dillon 16. I have been weaving since I was 13 yrs old and enjoy it everyday. This is a craft that goes along with my mother, Betty Printy, the potter. This started as a hobby that soon grew into a job. I choose to teach this class to inspire others to enjoy this craft as much as I do.
Join others as they gather in the Villages of Van Buren to learn from the resident artisans in their personal studios. Spend a weekend plein air painting along the Des Moines River, or step back in time as you throw bowls in a Pottery Shop. The inspiring and relaxing atmosphere of scenic Van Buren County, Iowa is, and will continue to be, a haven for creative beings.
