Visit www.eurekapalouse.org to register during our October sale! Finch started building with LEGO when her older son needed a building companion. She realized that building isn't just for little kids- it's creative, inspiring, and increibly fun for big kids too. Her first model was Hogwarts Castle which accidentally grew to be 400,000 bricks big in her LEGO room in Seattle, WA. She continues to build models both great and small. As well as collaborative projects, as she beleives there is great potential in using the brick to bring people together. Her work has been published in several books and she is a featured builder in the documentary, A LEGO Brickumentary.
