Welcome!

Michelle Follett is a teacher, and she puts her heart and soul into the endeavor.  Michelle believes learning is an on-going, never-ending part of living, and expects to learn something from every teaching experience she has.  Her approach to learning is straightforward:  See it, do it, teach it.

Michelle is from Oak Park, Illinois. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Education, and is considered instrumental in the growth of a small software development business into a multi-million dollar corporation. Upon retirement, she relocated to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and - as often happens in retirement - Michelle desired to teach again.

After successfully completing a Master Weaver certification program through Olds College of Alberta, Canada, Michelle started teaching, and opened a retail location in Fall 2019 in historic Downtown Cambridge, Maryland. The timing of that endeavor was not the best, obviously. However, because of the pandemic, Michelle and her husband discovered a love of camping together, and made plans to travel nearly full-time.

As of Spring 2023 they relocated, and will be using their motorcoach as Michelle’s transportation for teaching - indeed, a modern-day traveling teacher! Michelle currently teaches weaving (check here for upcoming hosted workshops or here for her virtual Hand Weavers’ Help Desk*). Stay tuned to this page for additional learning opportunities.
