Instructor Dorothy Bird is a trailblazing multimedia artist and designer. Her early art training laid a strong foundation for her future innovative knitwear and garment designs. Throughout an adventurous life—including rock climbing, living in wilderness lookout towers, operating commercial fishing boats in the Puget Sound and Alaska, working as a massage therapist for 35 years, and raising a child—Bird always carried her knitting, sewing and art supplies, making art a daily practice. Independence and a lifelong commitment to art are central to her identity.
