Instructor: Liza Eldred
Liza has worked many years helping students overcome barriers to learning by teaching them how to succeed using various computer technologies. “I have found that it is important to step away from technology every so often so that you can let your creative mind go. It is important to have a creative outlet, to do something that is different from your day-to-day.” Liza has taken numerous workshops and seminars for calligraphy and cardmaking over the years. Her first calligraphy workshop was with Paul Antonio in 2018 and from that moment she learned the value of learning something new, not as training for a career but just for fun! She enjoys teaching and is excited to help others learn.
