Hi I’m Emma.
Writer and Researcher
Emma Wheeler owned a small and successful interior design business for more than 10 years.
However, Emma’s life-long love for crafts and all things handmade was realized after she became a mom to the first of her 3 children.
She was inspired to use her talent and business know-how to start her very own classes. She now runs regular workshops in her local area and feels lucky to have taught hundreds of lovely students over the past 12 years.
Emma is a graduate of Hunter College, City University of New York. She has appeared on NBC, ABC, and CNN.
Her insider knowledge of crafts and materials along with her enthusiasm to share her expertise makes her a welcome addition to the editorial team.
