As part of Winter Connections, we are thrilled to have another Begin-to-Spin workshop led by the wonderful Odet Beauvoisin!
Join us for a hands-on introduction to the art of spinning your own yarn — from carding fibers and using hand spindles, all the way to spinning on a beautiful Ashford Wheel.
We have two ticket options:
£12 ticket: Yarn Spinning Workshop only.
£18 ticket: Yarn Spinning Workshop, including a Drop Spindle (RRP £9.50) to take away with you to continue practicing at home!
More about Odet:
Odet has been spinning, teaching, and designing yarns since the 1970s. She taught Handspinning & Yarn Design at Glasgow School of Art for nine years and studied on location with Marion Cambell, the last local Harris Tweed handloom weaver to dye and handspin her own weft.
As a ‘spinner in residence’ at The Coach House for 23 years, Odet demonstrated spinning and ran workshops for beginners, skill-developers, and advanced techniques. Over the past two decades, she has led workshops for the Highland Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild, Handspinner-Having-Fun Craft shop on Skye, and Gavin’s Mill (Milngavie).
Let’s get creative, build new skills, and reconnect with our rich textile heritage!
When: Saturday 15th November,12-2pm
Where: Johnstone Textile Space, 36 Houstoun Court, Johnstone, PA5 8DL
