Jump-Start Your Spinning Adventure

Beth Showalter

Full Day

Do you have a spinning project you want to start? Do you have a spinning project that got set aside? If that sounds familiar, this workshop will give you the time and space to jumpstart your individual spinning goal(s) with the guidance of an instructor. Join us for the ultimate “spin your own adventure" workshop, where everyone brings their own ideas and fibre to spin their own destination. During the workshop each spinner will bring a goal/idea, their own fibres and fibre tools to spin their own unique yarn with the help of the instructor who will circulate throughout the day to give feedback and support. Each participant is encouraged to bring a technique, resource, tip, or trick to informally share with the group

Please Bring :

Materials needed to complete independent spinning goals such as: fibre; spinning wheel (with repair kit as needed); spinning tools; 3-5 bobbins; 1-2 lazy kates; fibre prep tools; textile construction tools (kniĴing needles etc.); patterns and/or ideas for end use items.

Beth Showalter completed the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners Spinning Certificate Program in 2014 with distinction and is now an instructor in the program. She is a spinner who enjoys experimenting, sharing ideas, learning new techniques, teaching workshops, and following spinning tangents.
