Portfolio

     Here are some of the things I've made with knitting, weaving, handspinning, dyeing, and språng (braiding on stretched threads).
     This is personal work, not for sale, meant to show my depth of understanding of the fibre arts.
     I demonstrate handspinning and språng for local markets, festivals, and museums.  Usually these demos are part of a group volunteer effort put on by the handspinning or weaving guilds of which I am a member.
     I help people get started with drop spindles and språng, in person by chance or appointment, usually by personal referral.  I also put how-to videos online on YouTube.
