Amy Cooper grew up as a child of nature in the hills of Pennsylvainia. After achieving a B.S. in Wildlife Science with a minor in Forest Science from Penn State in 1989, she went on to pursue her love of nature by working in the field of wildlife biology. She used this love of nature as inspiration in raising her 5 children, homeschooling them with a Waldorf inspired community here in Charlottesville. Amy turned this love of nature to raising Angora Goats in 2003, and began reconnecting with her love of fiber arts. In 2006 Amy created “The Woolly Bullfrog”, a home based business in loving memory of her son, Jeremiah. She began teaching fiber arts to children to share Jeremiah’s love of goats and farming. Amy spends most of her time volunteering with Orange County 4h Goat Club and also helps organize and teach the children’s workshops at the Montpelier Fall Fiber Festival. You will often find Amy at home caring for her children and her goats, or selling her creations at the Charlottesville Holiday Markets.
