Hand Spinning Demonstrations & Teaching Sessions
Are you curious about the beautiful craft of hand spinning? Whether you're part of a Guild, a craft group, an educational institution, or a gathering of fibre enthusiasts, I offer personalised demonstrations and teaching sessions tailored just for you.
​
With my deep passion for hand spinning and years of experience, I can guide you through everything from preparing fibres to mastering spinning techniques—no matter your skill level.
What I Offer
Hands-On Workshops:
Immerse yourself in the art of hand spinning with interactive, hands-on workshops. Whether you're spinning for the first time or looking to refine your skills, these sessions offer a practical and enjoyable approach to learning. I bring along all the necessary tools—spindles, wheels, carders, and a variety of fibres—so you and your group can dive straight in. From the gentle rhythm of the spinning wheel to the tactile pleasure of working with different fibres, my workshops are designed to be fun, informative, and accessible to everyone.
Tailored Content for All Levels:
Every group is different, so each session is fully customised to suit your specific needs. If you're just starting out, I’ll guide you through the basics of fibre preparation, drafting, and spinning techniques. For more experienced spinners, I can delve into advanced topics like plying, using different fibre blends, or troubleshooting common issues. Whether you’re looking to master the fundamentals or challenge yourself with new techniques, I’ll ensure the content is perfectly matched to your group’s skill level and goals.
Availability & Travel​
I am available to travel to your location, bringing all the equipment and materials needed for the demonstration or workshop. Travel costs are calculated at 40p per mile (ppm) based on the distance and included in the final pricing. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to create the perfect experience for your group.
