Marilyn Romatka

Marilyn Romatka’s focus is living folk art crafts. She teaches a wide variety, from painting techniques to weaving, the common thread being that the techniques are all deep-rooted in a culture from around the world. You might say the techniques she teaches have all survived the ‘test of time’. They are all real.

Although Marilyn started out as a scientist, Life intervened and she became a teacher of ethnic folk art nationwide. She is now thoroughly enjoying her next metamorphosis into budding filmmaker. She likes to say she has the best job in the world; she travels to various countries gathering folk art techniques, then returns to the US to teach enthusiastic students!
