Join Allison Cullingham and learn to spin flax.
Workshop participants will learn about and use the hand tools that bring flax straw to a spinnable state. Each participant will then be given 10-20g of mid-length flax to spin from a towel on our laps. If you have your own flax you want to spin or process, bring it, too. Alison will bring her stand-alone distaff, and those who are interested can learn about dressing one for long line flax.
Participants need to bring:
- Hand towel (or towel the size of a standard tea towel)
- A shallow bowl/cup for finger-dipping water to use at your wheel.
- Any flax from your stash you may wish to try.
- A spinning wheel or spindle
Registration cost: $5/ person
Participation is limited to 10 persons.
Please remember to bring a brown bag lunch
