Mrs. Amanda Easter
I am a ceramic artist from Elkin, North Carolina in the heart of Surry County. I have been working with clay for over 13 years and teaching people about clay for 6 years. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Ceramics from Appalachian State University. I love to teach classes of all ages; to help shape young minds and to foster creativity.
The main drive of my life and my work is my belief and love of God and how He has influenced my life. I can see the hands of God at work in nature and how everything is made perfectly to work together in unison, this drives my work as it gives me purpose and meaning in life. The second biggest motivation in my life is my beautiful daughter and wanting to foster creativity, imagination, and beauty in her life so she knows all about art and the beautiful design of nature.
I love creating but I also love teaching and being able to share my talents and a small piece of myself with others. My main goal in life is to always make beautiful work that inspires and speaks to people while sharing my creativity and teaching others how to make beautiful works.

Mrs. Karin Peoples
Hi! I’m from Germany, and I grew up close to the Bavarian Alps. At only 19 years old I moved to Bosnia-Herzegovina, a country in Eastern Europe that had experienced a four year long war. I started out helping local churches reach out to families and children impacted by the war. During my 13 years of ministry there, I served at a Christian Youth Center, teaching English and German. I also pioneered and ran an Education Program for unschooled children and dropout students of an ethnic minority, helping them to graduate from Middle and High School.
Whether through mission trips or privately, I have travelled to the Middle East, to Africa, to Asia and all over Europe, and I have gotten to know and love many different cultures.
I have a TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) from Cambridge University, UK and have attended Bible School in Germany and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
My passion is to see young people explore their God-given gifts and talents, and to excel in life.
Mrs. Suzanne West
Hola. Me llamo Suzanne West. My first love is Jesus. Anything good in my life is only because of Him. My second love is my husband and 5 amazing kids. My third love is Spanish. I have taught for over 26 years. I have homeschooled our children for 22 of those years. We have graduated 3 kids and have 2 more to go.
In Middle School, my Spanish teacher realized I had a gift with Spanish and she helped cultivate that in my life. I continued using that gift in high school as I helped at a Spanish Church and translated at a free medical clinic. I worked with International Students in college and spent a summer doing ministry with migrant workers in Charleston SC and a summer in Puerto Rico. I also enjoy teaching Bible, Science and History.
Ms. Sherri Womble
"In the beginning God". 4 of my favorite words in scripture. Everyday God wakes me up I want to live every second talking to folks about who He is and who He created them to be. While I have a degree from UNCG in Child Development and Family Relations and Certification as a Christian Life Coach, my experience of walking alongside adults, teens and children and helping them to live the life they were created to live, is what I am most passionate about. Teaching Bible at Trinity Home Educators is a privilege and honor.
