INTRO TO ANIMAL FIBER ALCHEMY & HANDSPINNING

  • LOST VALLEY EDUCATIONAL CENTER 81868 Lost Valley Lane Dexter, OR, 97431 United States (map)

Join us for a hands-on fiber arts workshop! Bring your own projects and learn about fiber processing, dyeing, storage, and safety in a one-hour lecture. After a break, explore demo stations with tools like hand cards, a drum carder, drop spindles, and spinning wheels. Practice spinning, plying, and handpicking fibers, with guidance on safety and body awareness. Andra will provide all materials, including raw fibers, spinning wheels, books, and examples. Perfect for all skill levels!

Andra Vltavín (they/them) is the co-founder and co-director of Ethical Yarn Community, a member-owned cooperative that focuses on sustainability, tending to animals in partnership, and education. They have been handspinning for more than five years and delight in opportunities to connect somatic practices with land-based projects.
