SOUTHSIDE SAWDUST

Teresa is the maker behind Southside Sawdust. She has taken on the title of "Maker" with pride after years of making a little of everything and constantly wanting to learn how to make something new.

​

As the daughter of the ultimate "makers", she started her "maker" career opening a small business while home with her 2 children sewing and creating children's and women's boutique clothing. As a natural extension she included an embroidery service while working in preschool and kindergarten. After hanging up her sewing machine with a few years of being a full time educator, she dug through her father's scrap wood pile to fulfill an idea she had brewing. 

​

This is how the years of watching her father as a furniture maker and grandfather as a wood carver give life to her passion of woodworking.

Now she combines her love of working with wood and working with children as she teaches woodworking to kids from 4 years old and up. It truly is her hearts work as she gets to share something she loves with children and take on the role of Teacher.
