Meet your teacher:
Tracey (she/her) has been making things, breaking things, and figuring it out as she goes for as long as she can remember. Bay Area born and raised, she moved to Philadelphia a decade ago and can't imagine living anywhere else. When she's not doing marketing things, you can find her thrifting, making stuff w/ clay, practicing yoga or engrossed in a craft project. She doesn't claim to be an expert. She claims to be an enthusiast, which she has found is often more useful. She's thrilled to be here and genuinely cannot wait to make a mess with you!
