In this daylong workshop\, we will learn how to use a great wheel\, and experiment with different fiber selections and preparations for great wheel spinning. \nWe will look at examples of different great wheel designs\, learn how to adjust\, maintain and make simple repairs to great wheels\, and will learn how to recognize a great wheel that could still be used for spinning when one encounters it ‘in the wild.’ \nThis workshop is aimed at people who already have a basic understanding of handspinning\, but may also be of interest to new spinners. If you do not have prior spinning experience\, we suggest you also sign up for the Introduction to Handspinning workshop on June 16th & 17th. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Skills + Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n Students will learn: \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n\nA hands-on grounding of the techniques using a great wheel to spin a woolen yarn\nHow to select\, repair\, and maintain a great wheel of their own\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Andrea Myklebust \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COVID-19 \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.
