Spinning Tales
For those who have started spinning, this weekly social class we practise and pick up tips on spinning and fibre crafts, develop projects, chat and like times gone by, sometimes tell tales as we craft. All fibre crafts are welcome.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been spinning for more than six years and regularly teach spinning as part of my in person historic workshops. In truth I don't remember when I first picked up a fibre related project, from having a lamb in our backyard when I was in kindergarten to delving into the mysteries of sprang as an adult fibre and textiles have been part of my life and I have experience in most aspects.
I am also a storyteller and will be bringing a wealth of experience and tales to the class.Reviews
