Amy Umbel has been carving since childhood. She grew up immersed in woodworking and outdoor living and her work strives to maintain the important personal connection between people and the natural world. She has taught woodcarving techniques to students in the US and abroad, but now focuses on the storylines behind creativity; elucidating the common threads that bind us together as makers. Always seeking the story behind the work, she co-hosts Cut the Craft Podcast, which uncovers the transformational processes behind the work of contemporary craftspeople.
