My name is Lili Zhou. I am a teacher of Chinese language and culture and a lifelong lover of traditional crafts such as knotting, embroidery, and paper cutting. My passion began in childhood, making things together with my sister—mostly stitching and knitting.

Since I started teaching Chinese in 2013, I have loved integrating hands-on activities into my lessons, so students not only learn the language but also experience the culture. I believe that when you experience something yourself, you remember it better, which inspired me to gradually develop my crafting skills.

Today, I create handmade pieces inspired by traditional Chinese culture and art. Each craft carries a beautiful story, legend, or connection to a special festival. Crafting brings me peace and joy, and I hope to share this passion with you.
