Chantal
van Wierts
Art and French Teacher
Chantal has been teaching Art and
French at Mountain Road School for over twenty years. She is a native French speaker from Canada, a trained Waldorf French teacher and applied arts teacher from Sunbridge College and currently finishing up a Bachelor's Degree at Lesley College. When she was in college, she studied art and felt drawn to many different art forms. She discovered that through puppetry she could use multi media art disciplines. To become a professional puppeteer she had to study sculpture, drawing, painting, woodworking, and mime. She studied puppetry with a master puppeteer from Prague. In addition to teaching at Mountain Road School, Chantal has her own professional puppet group, "The Magic Lantern Puppet Theater."
