I created Torch & Trowel to give parents a clear, low-stress path to real drawing development. Each screen-free Field Kit is simple, structured, and printer-ready—guiding kids toward focus, confidence, and lasting skill with nothing more than pencil and paper. It’s the resource I wished for when I first began teaching.
