This is what it's all about!

The Fabulous Fiber Fest was awesome!! Great Students, Great venue, Great shopping. For a spinner, this was the life!!

I left this weekend with a tremendous sense of fulfillment, having watched my students jump in and boldly learn new techniques, experiment with new colors and materials and be rewarded with beautiful, exciting yarns.

To my students:

You gave so much, it was an incredible experience for me. I look forward to seeing your work and seeing you again. I hope that my classes left you brave, energized and ready to do the brilliant work that is inside you.

John, I want to thank you for teaching the classes. You made it so clear and so easy to understand what to do with fiber. I picked up so much that I feel like I can further explore spinning techniques with confidence. Thank you for making that possible. :-)

Hey John,

Cool Blog, You are an awesome teacher and I have enjoyed every class I have taken with you. I have lost track of how many classes that would be. Thanks Lisa

Hi John, I want to thank you for a wonderful class! I can't believe I learned so much in only one day. You are an amazingly kind and generous teacher. When I got home I could actuallly sit down and create great new yarn. Thank you!!

    These are a couple of pictures of my demo and the students in the Spinning A to Z class. This is a great class for the beginner, as it offers everything you need to know to go home and spin. We learned basic spinning and drafting with roving; discussed washing wool (not the right venue for washing a woolie), carded and combed wool for woolen, worsted and color effects; plying and finishing your yarns. At the end, for the students that wanted to give it a try, we spun silk from roving
