Training

Handspinner since 1985. Raise Angora goats and enjoy spinning mohair and wool blends. Have taken workshops under Patsy Zawistoski, Rita Buchanan, Jane Fornier, Celia Quinn, Eileen Hallman and others. I am a co-partner in a shop in Greensboro, NC where I sell spinning wheels, looms, and all the toys to go with them, and teach spinning lessons.

Hand Spinning

Beginning spinning, Drafting Techniques, Going beyond the Basics

Travel

I teach in my home, at my shop and will travel to do workshops.

I enjoy spinning (and weaving and knitting) and have taught many people how to spin. I enjoy teaching spinners how to take control of their spinning by making different kinds of yarns and using many types of fibers.
