Workshops
We have taught workshops for many Guilds in the North of England and the Midlands, at Alston Hall in Lancashire, at the Association of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers Summer School, at Woolfest and in our own home.
We are best known for teaching workshops on spindle spinning. These can be of varying duration and covering working with various fibres and spindles, including akha spindles and taklis, both used for spinning cotton.
Having developed a fondness for the fibre as a result of this, we also teach a one day workshop in spinning cotton, with spindles, wheel and charka.
We now have a new workshop developed for Summer School 2009, but which can also be taught in a cut down form over one or two days called “Spin to Knit”. In this, we look at a range of spinning techniques with lots of different fibres with the end in mind of knitting with them. Lots of other good stuff in there, as well!
Carol regularly teaches at an ongoing spinning workshop at Alston Hall in Lancashire, covering every aspect of the craft. Experience from this can translate into one day workshops, or individual tuition. One such class is “Improve your Spinning” but the possibilities are endless.
Pete teaches a one day class on “Knitting with Energised Singles”, as well as specialising in the akha spindle.
All of these can be tailored to suit individual requirements, or we are happy to consider suggestions for workshops – please feel free to
contact us to discuss what you would like us to do.
