Instructor Sam Little
My name is Sara Little, or Sam to most who know me. In 2013 I retired after 38 years of teaching art in the public school system, but I continue to teach art to children and adults of all ages and abilities. My passion is helping people to find an outlet of exploring their creativity, with all the life-changing benefits that bestows. I now have a vision for broadening the impact of my teaching. I have teamed up with Art of Recycle in Ephrata, PA to open a community center in Hanover.
We are thrilled that we were able to open the Art Bank in October of 2019.
