    (Re)Discovering Your Passion and Finding Your 'Thing'

    (Re)Discovering Your Passion and Finding Your 'Thing'

    My last couple of episodes might have struck a chord with you if you were in a place like I was several years ago: "I don't know what my THING is!" Everyone seems to have their passion, their purpose and it can be downright scary if you feel you don't have your own. Let's talk about it today and discuss ways to find your 'thing'.

    Best Supplies for Sewing, Embroidery and Weaving!

    Best Supplies for Sewing, Embroidery and Weaving!

    So I got a C (for "Cassie"!) in textiles in college. During my first year teaching, when 'weaving' was apart of the curriculum, I panicked. That was 23 years ago...since then I've learned to love all things textiles myself. It's become one of my favorite things to teach! In this longwinded podcast, I'll be sharing with you all of my very favorite supplies for sewing, embroidery and weaving!

    Are You An Art Teacherin' Workaholic?

    Are You An Art Teacherin' Workaholic?

    And if you are, what should you do about it? Let's talk about it because if you are running around like crazy each and every day, that's not healthy or sustainable. Trust me, you can still be an amazing art teacher AND have priorities that don't include teaching art.

Love it!

I’m not even an art teacher, but I find this podcast so inspiring!

Crazy but amazing

Cassie is completely over the top, sometimes crazy and always lots of fun. I don’t teach art, I teach library, and yet I’ve learnt so much from her about classroom
management and making things fun for the kids as they learn.

So much wisdom

Thank you Cassie for this podcast! I love your episodes about life and what you’ve learnt. They resonate with me so much! I came to learn about teaching art (I want to start my own studio) but I’ve come away with so much more. Thank you for being so inspiring!
