WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
These Pluckyfluff workshops are two full days of class that cover a broad range of spinning techniques from my books Handspun Revolution, Intertwined and HandSpun (due out Fall '11). But these techniques are just a place to start, the point of this class is to investigate and develop your own creative ideas. There will be ample opportunity to try new things one-on-one, or get the whole class involved! The goal of the class is to develop an artistic awareness within students so that they can see fiber and yarn as a medium for creative expression. Bring an open mind and you're sure to leave with a smile (oh, and...LOTS of cool yarn!)
