Two Days of Spinning Workshops
Saturday November 17 and Sunday November 18
Free Your Wheel Free Yourself -Spinning Silk and Spinning Art Yarn
Many of us find ourselves in ‘default mode’ when we spin; same fiber, same grist, same results. While consistency is a noble goal, it can be energizing to step out of the comfort zone and experiment with new materials and new techniques.
Jan Massie is a highly engaging instructor and will be leading us on a high energy spinning adventure.

Each full day (9:00 to 4:30) workshop is $100 which includes instructor and materials fees. Class size limited to 12 each day. Sign up with the Paypal Links at the bottom of the page.
Saturday November 17: We’ll kick off with a lively session of Wheel Magic – Jan describes this as “Learning ratio and how to make your wheel do the work”. Structured exercises allow us to stretch and warm up our wheel, our attitude, and our technique.

She teaches classes out of her shop and online and most recently has taught in Mulberry Days, Ambia, Iowa; EGLFC in Chautauqua, N.Y.; Sheep in the City, Milwaukee; Fiber Retreat, Temecula, Calif, Stitches Midwest and September 2018 series of workshops in the Netherlands.
