Greta Cornejo is the Education Program Coordinator for the School of SweetGeorgia. She works with the instructors to design, organize and deliver their courses for the school, as well as in-person events at the studio. Greta also manages all the patterns, creating the layouts and connecting with designers and tech editors to get these stunning patterns to our community (she also just published her first pattern!).
Supporting Communities, Online and In-Person
Greta volunteers with her local Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild, organizing local spinning and weaving workshops. She frequently writes for the SweetGeorgia blog and other publications, like PLY Magazine and Spin Off Magazine.
She started cross stitching in high school and knitting in 2009. Always curious to learn more, she learned to spin in 2013 and to weave in 2020. She loves making samples and things for her favourite people.
