About the Instructor:
Trice Clark, also known as Kraft Doll and Detroit’s Handy Woman, started what is now Kraftologie as DIY Fridays in her college apartment. Long before that, she was making and selling jewelry as a kid to buy the latest gym shoes. After losing access to arts education in elementary school, she learned by doing. Experimenting with materials, figuring things out as she went, and building skills through practice rather than formal training. That approach became the foundation of her teaching. Over the past decade, she has led craft-based workshops across metro Detroit, showing others the art of doing it yourself. Kraftologie is a continuation of that practice, creating space for others to explore, experiment, and learn through craft.
