About The Instructor:
Hi! My name is Allison and I work full time as a pediatric physical therapist. I have been an avid lover of writing letters for years; my mom and grandmas instilled the importance of thank you notes and sending snail mail to loved ones from an early age. I started making hand-marbled stationery as a hobby during the COVID pandemic which eventually turned into opening my own Etsy shop. I’ve loved experimenting with different color schemes and look forward to sharing my passion for this beginner-friendly craft with each of you!
