About Paul and Pascale:

Paul Edelman founded Teachers Pay Teachers in 2006 after 4 years as an English teacher in the NYC public schools. It was the first and is still the largest and most used original teacher-created resource marketplace in the world. He's now doing woodworking fulltime in Bordeaux, France and, together with Pascale, providing studio and workshop space for artists and artisans.

Pascale is a multi-talented stained glass maker, interior designer and art collector among other passions and talents. We would like to develop our philanthropic activities around encouraging and supporting creators and creation over consumption in general, and helping people in need. Follow along.
