Linda Calvert Jacobson
PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Linda has been teaching art on and off for all of her adult life. In early 2017 and after nearly 13 years teaching from her studio in New Braunfels, she relocated to Wimberley where she now offers a wide range of art classes year around for adults and children as well as a Summer Art Camp program. A native of Floresville, Texas, and a professional artist, Linda has a BA degree with a double major in art and communication arts from the University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, and a MA with a major in communications and a minor in art from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. She and her husband David also own Wildflower Art Gallery, also located in Wimberley. 

Barbara
Leather Crafting


Barbara Worley is a leather artist and craftsman with an Associate in Applied Science –Saddle Making. A recent transplant from Idaho to the Texas Hill Country, she is continuing her love of crafting items out of heavy textiles and leather. Barbara owns The Plump Red Pony in Wimberley where she creates custom accessories for home and body, leather goods, jewelry, and more. “Leatherwork has been considered being on the cusp of a ‘lost art’,” she says. “Like with calligraphy and book-binding, to name just two, the ability to find Master Saddlemakers and leather artists willing to teach how to decorate a piece of leather into a beautiful, functional piece of art has been increasingly hard to find”. Because of this, Barbara is offering workshops to those interested in learning the process of leather crafting.
