About Casey
Casey grew up in Veazie, Maine and graduated from the University of Maine at Farmington with a degree in Elementary Education. She started interning at the Portland Fiber Gallery & Weaving Studio in the summer of 2009, learning how to dye and eventually spin, felt, and weave. Creating has always been a part of their life.
When they are not in the shop or doing fibery things, they enjoy dancing around the house, drinking coffee, biking and walking around town, and reading sci-fi & fantasy.
