Linda Gross has been folk dancing since she was a small child and has also studied regional costumes, textiles and handicrafts, with a strong interest in Scandinavian traditions. In 1980, she started collecting traditional dress from around the world. Her interest in folk costumes led her to bobbin lace, which she has been studying and making for over 30 years. Linda also does a variety of other handicrafts, mostly textile related. She is a director of Scandia Camp Mendocino.

Linda will teach the Crafts class on Woven Paper Hearts.
