| Instructor Bio: | A lifelong art enthusiast, April Snyder?s wool interest began early in life when her sister purchased a flock of Border Leister sheep.

As an avid gardener with a background in graphic design, April draws her inspiration from life on her farm in Northern Baltimore County. Taking a cue from nature, she custom draws her rug designs and even dyes her own wool to get the perfect color to complete her vision.
