BIO:
Renee has lived in and around Milwaukee, WI, all her life. She was introduced to fiber arts at a young age by an aunt with a Llama farm, and later learned to knit and crochet, still while quite young. This is not the original direction she thought life would take, having earned several college degrees, including a Master of Architecture from UW-Milwaukee. She now fully embraces this fiber arts adventure. Once Renee learned to spin yarn, it became her passion. Spinning yarn more than anything else, has led her to selling her hand-spun and making it her career. Officially founding her business, Wavellite Creative LLC, in early 2021. She has been spinning for years and has been designing drop spindles for almost as long. She also designs and builds spinning wheels by hand. Teaching started with the selling of things to spin yarn with. Discovering a talent and a joy of sharing her love of spinning. Renee has been steadily adding to the options and range of class levels she offers. Renee now travels to many fiber arts festivals around the country to both teach classes and sell her products. You can also find Renee at the Waukesha Makerspace, teaching classes and building spinning wheels.
