Winter/Spring classes I'm teaching:

Spinning by Hand: An Introduction
(Beginning spinning on spindles)
Using hand spindles, learn to spin your own yarn from wool or a wool alternative.
Spinning, a relaxing and playful activity, allows you to create your own yarns
for knitting, crocheting, weaving and more.
Give spindles a try (or another try if you've had a frustrating learning experience!)
This will be a rich, in - depth workshop in a relaxed, playful environment, and
you'll leave with lots of inspiration to continue practicing and learning on your own.
Sunday, 1–5pm, March 28, 2010 (at The Eliot School, Boston/JP)

Art on a Stick/Art Yarns
Learn to spin funky, artful yarns on a drop spindle. Start with spindle basics,
then explore different fibers and how they can be used to create offbeat yarns.
If you have tried spindles before, try them again in a playful environment
with an artist who has created yarns of every imaginable type.

Crazy Quilts
For ages, people have combined leftover fabrics into crazy quilts,
making beautiful assemblages embellished with embroidery. In this
workshop, you will complete either a ten-inch square that you can
incorporate into a larger quilt at home or a small child-size quilt.
