Phoebe is also an accomplished and popular teacher, with experience teaching a wide range of students ranging from primary and secondary school children, the Certificate IV class, and adult classes. 2013 sees her return to Victoria to re-establish and expand her workshop to include the new wood school at her property in Drummond.
