"Bernie's Mitten Maker" - Author, Jen Ellis
|
Jen Ellis was a teacher and crafter when the mittens she sewed for Senator Bernie Sanders became the inspiration for millions of memes. Originally from South Portland, Maine, Ellis's teaching career spanned nearly two decades in the public schools of North Carolina and Vermont. She is a songwriter, beekeeper, and crafter of the occasional pair of mittens for local non-profit fundraisers.
Come hear Jen share her story of her mittens as well as other experiences and crafts that have shaped her into the caring and generous spirit that she is. She has generously shared several copies of her book, "Bernie's Mitten Maker, A Memoir" for us to sell to guild members at a discounted price. If you'd like to read the book prior to April, the opportunity to purchase a copy can be found below. |
