Mieka John, the designer behind Salt & Stone Knits, enjoys the many facets of being a knitwear designer and teacher. On an average day she’s connecting and collaborating with other makers, swatching designs, and preparing classes. Originally from New York, she now lives in beautiful Amsterdam spending her days uncovering her creativity and biking to the next appointment with a basket full of WIPs.
When Mieka teaches knitting classes she enjoys connecting with students from around the world both virtually and at festivals. Often the techniques featured in her lessons become the central focus of her designs. She delights in finding new applications for familiar techniques and building them into wearable and versatile items.
From the moment you enter the classroom, Mieka works to make sure your time together is valuable,and fun! You'll leave feeling not only accomplished and armed with new skills but but that you've connected with your crafting community.
