Witt Wittmann retired in 2006 from thirty years of teaching English in the public schools. She is an accomplished artist and an award-winning writer. Her art of tatting, a form of lace, is exhibited at the South Carolina Artisan Center as well as The Pickens County Museum. She has been published in the International Old Lacers magazine, The Bulletin, in addition to having three books published: TatWitt: What I Learned When I Learned to Tat, Musing at La Poulaille, and Echoes of Memories. Wittmann has illustrated a number of books for various authors. Now that she has retired, Wittmann can devote her time to the things that she loves best: art and writing, not to mention gardening and chickens.
