Free to Be You: My Interview with David Baker

by Cory Marie Podielski | Jul 27, 2015 | Featured Classes, Featured Instructor, Glass, Interviews | 22

David Baker lights up any room with creative energy and joy.

David has been teaching Kaleidoscope classes at the Folk School for over a decade. He is also our regular massage therapist. Enjoy our interview!
