AnnMarie Anderson

AnnMarie is a mostly self-taught crafter who has worked in many media. A children’s book editor and writer, she moved to Vermont from Brooklyn in 2021. For many years, she sewed and sold sock monkeys for a small NYC-based nonprofit that organized fine art and craft exhibitions and workshops for underserved artists, including seniors, those in recovery, and the unhoused. She also once organized a community art project for kids that involved weaving on old CDs with recycled yarn.

These days she experiments and dabbles with needle and wet felting, knitting, and weaving. She loves to share her skills with others while learning new things from them as well! She lives in Shelburne with her husband and their two kids.
