Hello! I’m Katherine, and I’ve been teaching crafting classes at PCC since 2023. Below, you’ll find a summary of the classes I’ll be teaching in the near future.
When I’m not crafting, I’m working as a science journalist. You can find my stories in Science, Scientific American, and The New York Times. I’m a scientist by training — I have a Ph.D. in astronomy. I used to study far-away galaxies and often traveled to Hawaii to use big telescopes.
