About ASI / Instructors / Ty Sheaffer

Ty Sheaffer

Ty Sheaffer (they, them) is a basket maker, woodworker and hand tool aficionado. They are passionate about hand-made culture and nonindustrial ways of living. Ty believes working with materials gathered from the natural world is a sacred, healing, and political act, and has the potential to draw us into more intimate and meaningful relationships with the places we live.
