Jazmin Hicks-Dahl has been carving wood for a long time. Her skills were especially honed by taking many many spoon carving classes from her husband Jarrod. She also took a class in 2022 from Kerstin Neumueller, heddle carving extraordinaire from Sweden. She has been weaving bands for a few years and loves the portability and how it teaches weaving in a simple way.
