Ready to take your beginner wheel spinning skills to the next level?! Maybe you've tinkered on your own or joined us for a beginner wheel spinning workshop – either way you're ready to go beyond the most basics to start learning how to make the yarn you want. During this workshop, you will hone in on your drafting technique, treadling tips, plying techniques, and tips for consistency as well as how your wheel parts work and can impact the yarn you create. You will also learn how to care for and use your wheel. Students do not need to have a wheel to participate (but if you do have one bring it along!) - this is a great way to continue to explore if spinning yarn on a wheel is right for you through watching demonstrations and testing out your skills on the shop wheels. Teaching ArtistKeira Wiggins is a Jersey City-based textile designer specializing in yarn dyes and color development. She makes hand-dyed and carded fiber and yarn as well as handspun yarns. Skills + MaterialsThis is a beginner+/intermediate and basic/beginner wheel spinning skills are needed to participate. If you do have a spinning wheel or access to one, you can use this class to (re)orient yourself so bring your wheel along! Students without a spinning wheel will have a chance to try our shop wheels. Workshop supplies are included in the fee - you will have plenty of fiber to play with in class and take home! All students receive a 10% student discount, which can be used on supplies and even big equipment if you are interested in purchasing a wheel. Community CommitmentWe're looking forward to sharing space with you! If you haven't had a chance to read our Community Commitment, pop over to the website and read about how we agree to share space.
