Jacky & Regula

Teaches at Lemon Sky Fiber Arts and Crafts

Jacky grew up in Basel/Switzerland. She earned a BFA in Fine Arts at the Basel School of Design. She received a grant to attend the Graduate Program for Fine Arts at Rice University/Houston, TX and studied Fine Arts at La Escuela Massana Art School in Barcelona/Spain. Since 1993 she has been living and working as a painter in Williamsburg/Brooklyn. Jacky discovered the joy of working creatively with children while volunteering in her child’s schools. Regula is a native of Frutigen/Switzerland. She attended the School of Design in Bern and Basel where she received a Swiss Federal PET Diploma in typography/graphic design. She worked as a graphic designer for 20 years. While spending ten years volunteering in the classrooms of her two children, she developed an interest in teaching fiber art and craft. During that time she developed the artist in residence program for that school, which to this day is still running. Besides working there as an artist in residence, she also teaches fiber art in that afterschool program.
