Fall in New England and Canada…A Spinner’s Color Paradise
New England in the fall…what could be more inspiring to spinners and fiber artists? You, you
r family and friends, and your spinning community are invited to join the Fiber Garden for a nine night New England/Canada cruise in October 2015. It sounds so far away and yet planning early is key in order to get space reserved on board the cruise ship for this popular itinerary. The Liberty of the Seas is one of the ships in the fabulous Freedom Class of ships in the Royal Caribbean International fleet. You can ice skate, rock climb, or surf on board! If you prefer activity on the milder side, you can stroll the shops along the Royal Promenade, attend a program, enjoy a movie, or find a lounge chair and watch the ocean roll by. And did I mention spinning?? There will be plenty of time for spinning including three full days of workshops at sea. Complete details and reservation forms can be found at https://fibergarden.com/travel/spinners-cruise-october-2015/. Although we’re more than a year away from the sail date, deposits are due by December 15, 2014. Please start planning and saving your pennies so you can be part of this grand fiber adventure at sea!
I am looking to join a spinning workshop. You were teaching at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool festival this summer and I really enjoyed your class. I hope you might have a group of students that I can add to. Or do you do private workshops or will you be teaching someplace else. Please let me know. I need help with the tension and improving my spinning skills. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, Deborah! Thanks so much for reaching out to me! I don’t currently have any beginning spinning workshops scheduled here at my place or elsewhere at this time. Although I will be teaching all four days at the WI Sheep & Wool Festival again. A different option you might enjoy would be attending one of my spinners’ retreats. As long as I know you’ve attended the WI Sheep & Wool class, you “qualify” to attend a retreat and I’d be happy to give you some coaching there. I have one in the spring (near Duluth MN) and one in the fall (In Middleton WI). For complete information, visit my upcoming events page: https://fibergarden.com/events/. You would be very welcome…and all the other spinners would inspire you too. We love “early-career” spinners! I have two spaces remaining for the upcoming spring retreat. I haven’t yet opened registrations for the fall event, but all the details are on the events page.
