# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wool: Field to Loom — A Five-Session Fiber Arts Series - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Living Craft is a heritage collection of artistry essential for daily life. Sam Rose leads from sheep to fabric in this workshop series.About this EventWool has clothed people for six thousand years. Before synthetic fiber, before the mill, before the machine — there was the sheep, the hand, and the knowledge of how to move from one to the other.Wool: Field to Loom is a five-session series that walks that entire process from the raw fleece to finished yarn, ready for use. Led by fiber artist and educator Samantha Rose, this program is rooted in the living craft tradition of the American South — and in the Gulf Coast Native sheep breed, a heritage breed uniquely adapted to Southern heat and climate, raised by local partner farms outside Athens.This is not a class about knitting. It is about understanding fiber as a material — where it comes from, how it is prepared, and how human hands have shaped it into something useful and lasting for millennia.THE SERIESSession 1 of 5 — Scouring & WashingSaturday, May 9, 2026 · 1:00–4:00 PMRaw fleece arrives with lanolin, vegetable matter, and the evidence of a life outdoors. This session begins where wool begins: a cold soak, a wash with wool wash, and the patient process of making a fleece clean enough to work. Participants handle raw Gulf Coast Native fleece and leave understanding what they are working with.Session 2 of 5 — Combing & CardingSaturday, June 13, 2026 · 1:00–4:00 PMClean fleece must be aligned before it can be spun. Participants learn hand combing and carding — the techniques that turn tangled locks into roving, the soft rope of fiber that feeds a spinning wheel. Each participant produces their own carded sample.Session 3 of 5 — SpinningSaturday, August 8, 2026 · 1:00–4:00 PMRoving becomes yarn on the wheel. Participants learn the mechanics of hand spinning — how tension, twist, and drafting determine the weight and character of the yarn. Spinning is prescriptive: the choices made here determine what the yarn is capable of becoming.Session 4 of 5 — Natural DyeingSaturday, September 12, 2026 · 1:00–4:00 PMYarn is colored using natural plant dyes — mordant soaking, dye bath preparation, and fixation. Participants learn to source and prepare native plant materials from the Southern landscape, connecting the fiber process to the ecology of this region.Session 5 of 5 — Collaborative WeavingSaturday, October 10, 2026 · 1:00–4:00 PMThe series closes with a collective making. Participants weave together with the yarn they have processed — a single collaborative piece that holds the work of the entire group.YOUR INSTRUCTORSamantha Rose is a fiber artist and educator whose practice is rooted in the traditional processes of Southern textile craft.
