About your instructor, Ann Rose
Ann Rose retired from a full time nursing career 16 years ago to live off grid and practice organic farming on her farm in Lansing. She has used knowledge of food preservation passed down from her grandmother, learned through her nursing training and career, practical experience, and some "trial and error," to use her own words. Ann has also been a grant writer for the local nonprofit, GLAD, and in conjunction with the town raised funds to purchase land and build the 77 acre Lansing Creeper Trail Park. She also started the Lansing Farmers' Market five years ago which has been a great opportunity for local entrepreneurs.

Marina Bosetti
Influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts Movements. I love uniting organic and geometric forms into designs that flow and follow the spirit of these two movements, which strive to bring beauty to the everyday. I earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1982, where I learned to take a painterly approach to clay.
Amy Bumgardner began making jewelry in 2010 when searching for a creative outlet. She picked up a beginners tool kit on a whim and instantly fell in love with the art. It was the creative outlet she needed. Her style quickly evolved from beaded pieces to metal work with silver, gold and copper. She is self taught and has spent countless hours learning as many techniques as possible.
Amy is originally from Boone, NC and has lived in Ashe County since 2001.
