SPINNING COMPLEX YARNS WORKSHOP
April 24-26. Times: TBD Cost: TBD Instructor: Allison Harding
Who can take the class?
- Any spinners who can spin singles and ply them.
- You need a wheel in good working order.
Allison designed the new Complex Yarn Scorecard for the certified judges of the Northwest Regional Spinners Association (NwRSA).
Now she helps train those judges in the use of the scorecard.
- A natural response to this training is “teach me how to do that!” DFA is the first site of her new class.
- Allison will speak at the DFA General Meeting on April 23 (the FOURTH Thursday, rather than the THIRD) on “Color for Fiber Artists.”
- Then teach her new spinning class in Complex Yarn Techniques. Learn to auto-wrap, glaze, spiral wrap, encase, add in felted bits and found objects and more.
- Learn to produce an art yarn that has integrity so that all the parts are securely part of your yarn, made with distinctive techniques, composed with forethought rather than by accident. (Although accidents can lead to new techniques.)
- We’re compiling a list of spinners who are interested in this class.
- If it is not filled by DFA members, we’ll invite NwRSA judges to join us.
- Those on this list will be the first notified of all the details of the class as we determine them.
Your name on this list does NOT obligate you to take the class. Email Cheryl Reed to join the “I’m Interested” list. ch*************@gm***.com
