About Elena

Elena Gans-Pfister is a self-proclaimed fiber sculptor and installation-based artist who resides, teaches, and works in Philadelphia, PA. Using a variety of hand-fiber processes, which include, but are not limited to: cross-stitch, sewing, crocheting, knitting, and more, are the mechanisms they use to create their artistic practice and commission-based work. They often seek inspiration that is informed by micro and/or marine biology.

When teaching, Elena is known for their consideration, patience, and caring nature, which makes a welcoming learning environment and a safe space for students to ask questions. Elena values one-on-one time with each student to support them: building foundational skills in their chosen fiber technique, figuring out a new pattern or project they are working on. They pride themselves on being committed to aiding their students in growing with confidence, creativity, and curiosity.

About the lesson

Elena’s lessons are part of a collaborative effort between student and tutor, offering students a considerate and well-rounded learning experience. Each session of class is a one-on-one, meticulously tailored lesson to each student's individual learning needs, goals, and interests.

Known for their supportive environment while teaching, Elena creates a compassionate patient teaching style where students can build their confidence as they develop strong techniques and creativity in fiber art. Elena adapts to each student's needs and pace through guided-practice and demos.
