Melinda Potter is a writer, craft fanatic, and proud Sarasota native with a passion for creativity in all its forms. As the instructor of our center’s weekend art classes, she brings a spirit of fun and discovery to each session. Her work is fueled by a love of community and a desire to unearth the magic in everyday materials. If she’s not cruising Pinterest for inspiration, she’s treasure-hunting at local thrift shops or searching for interesting items to decoupage. Her latest obsession? Designing fairy houses and intricate miniatures that become visual storytelling pieces—each of them aiming to capture a slice of someone’s personality or an important memory or emotion. These tiny worlds are perfect vehicles for your imagination and a beautiful way to preserve a personal narrative. Let Melinda’s class encourage you to tap into your inner artist, let go of perfection, and embrace the creative process.
