Join Lorna Ash, Ruth Davidson Fulks and Christiane Lonergan for a hands-on introduction to some of the fibre equipment that is part of the ASH Equipment Library.
Christiane, our Guild Librarian will be bringing a selection of fibre processing equipment to Scott Manor House for this workshop. This is the equipment that is available to our members to borrow for a very reasonable rental fee. The equipment will be set up in stations and participants will receive short tutorials from Lorna, Ruth and others on how to use the different tools, with a focus on both how to use the items safely and how to prevent damage to the equipment.
The following pieces of equipment will be on site:
Materials to Bring:
Max number participants: not applicable
Fee: pay for fibre day
NOTE:. This workshop will be run as an open house style session: attend what you want and attend fibre day the rest of the time. The equipment instruction will be broken up into chunks so participants have time to use equipment on their own, and if you aren’t interested in a particular piece of equipment, gouae another piece of equipment or check out fibre day. Participants are asked to register so we have some numbers, but you will pay for Fibre Day instead of this workshop and are free to attend both fibre day and equipment open house.
REGISTRATION OPENS OCTOBER 10th, 2026
--------- Coffee and tea will be available on site, but please remember to bring your lunch. A refrigerator is also available for us to use.
This registration fee is non-refundable. If a participant cancels or no shows, they forfeit the registration fee. If ASH cancels or postpones the workshop, the workshop fee will be applied as a credit on participants accounts for future workshops. Workshops require payment at the time of registration or within 5 days to confirm registration.
