Spinning Workshop: Art Yarns
Teacher: Mary Clipner
Cost: $75
When: Saturday, March 18, 10:00–12:00pm
Description: Take a break from typical twisted yarns, and come play with something new! Enjoy experimenting with combinations of colors and textures to create a truly unique skein of yarn. For this workshop, students should be comfortable with spinning singles and plying. We will provide a spinning wheel for each student plus some materials, but if you have a bobbin of previously spun yarn you’d like to use, bring it along. Level up your hand-spinning, and make yarn that will turn heads!
Mary Clipner is the co-founder/operator of Copper Bear Shire, where she and her husband, David, produce various traditional handmade goods and teach heirloom homesteading skills. Follow their adventures on Instagram @copperbearshire.
