Vivian Peritts - Nationally Acclaimed Craft Designer

Vivian Peritts had a strong desire to be a stay-at-home mom, so she quit her job as an art teacher. Soon she started making and selling soft sculpture dolls, which she sold at craft fairs and stores to bring in a little extra cash.

Today, Vivian is a nationally acclaimed craft designer whose work is often featured on HGTV and DIY. She’s the author of numerous craft titles, including Felted Wool Fashions to be published in early 2008 by Sterling. She also works as a consultant for leading manufacturers in the craft and hobby industry, sharing her creativity through inspiring projects and ideas.

She lives and creates in Marietta, Georgia where she shares her home with two playful dogs, a cranky parrot and her loving husband Virgil.
