Learning to crochet as a young girl with her grandmother, Sadie May Bradford has continued her enjoyment of history and folk art into her adult life. With a degree in education from the University of Akron, showing others how to create folk art falls right into place. Whether in her books or on a Saturday afternoon as she spins wool at a living history event, Sadie May loves to share with people just like you. Visit her website online at www.sadiemaybradford.com. Leave her a message or better yet, come on out to her next historical presentation if you are in the area. Find out about events on our easy-to-use events calendar right on the site. She would love to meet you! Growing up in Vietnam, Cathy Hoang learned to draw and paint as part of her junior high school education. Her college degrees led her in other directions, but upon retirement, she rediscovered her love of art and has been enjoying the hobby. These skills learned in childhood have become a new friend for her now in later years! Recreating the world around her in art with only pencil and paper, acquiring new skills as a gardener, and enjoying family are things Cathy loves doing these days. She encourages you, the reader, to dream and she hopes her art brings these stories to life, inspiring you to learn a new hobby that you can bring into your future just like she did.
