About Us and Our Shop

Upper Room Studio is a working fiber art studio and retail shop.

Monika began spinning on the drop spindle and on the spinning wheel in 1999 with a home school mom. Her love for the fiber arts grew and she began weaving in 2000. Her love for history has enhanced her knowledge of fiber arts. She loves reenacting and has studied under many artists.What started out as a small school project quickly grew into something larger than she could ever have
imagined. Though she has worked with and studied under many wonderful
people along the way most of her experience has come from self
teaching or "trial and error" as she says. Fiber Art is truly a
"made-from-scratch" art and she loves to introduce others to the joy
and relaxation found working in fiber. Preserving and passing on
heritage and cultural arts and their historical significance is an
important aspect in her teaching. It's more than just creating
something beautiful and unique it's a way to continue our world's
traditions. Fiber is unique as an art form. Having started in early
history as a necessary skill for daily living, many saw it as a chore,
something that simply had to be done. As time passed and new
inventions came along, it has evolved into art form. No longer an
absolute necessity but instead a creative and relaxing craft for many.
From shearing and processing to spinning and weaving, or the dyeing
and felting, fiber art offers many fun and challenging art forms to
work in. Throughout her checkered teaching career she has worked with
schools and summer camps throughout Worcester and Wicomico county and
enjoys working with schools to create a program to make a social
studies or science lesson come alive. In 2009 she started Upper Room
Studio to supply the shore with quality fiber art equipment and fun
classes. Through everything though, her goal is for children and
adults to enjoy an amazing art while taking part in continuing a
legacy.
