Possible Teaching Gig...

[neotoma]

It looks like I might be teaching/coaching two beginners on spinning with drop spindles. This will be interesting, since I usually just demonstrate the skill at guild outreach programs.

I'll need to bring some materials:

* Top-whorl, bottom-whorl, Turkish, and akha spindles.
* At least two different wool roving and/or top, and maybe some cotton for experimentation
* "Low Tech, High Satisfaction" and "Introduction to Spinning" from Interweave Press
* A niddy-noddy


I'm not sure how much teaching they've had, and I am by no means a master-spinner, but I think I'm good enough at teaching hands-on to interested parties that this might work out.

You still haven't taught me! ^_~

(oh man, do you realize that the next free weekend I have is in mid-November?!)

I'd be happy to teach you. But there is this whole problem of you never having a free weekend, you know?

And aren't I supposed to be teaching you to knit socks, too?

Uhm, yeah, though I don't have much use for learning to knit wool socks...

Scarves, I should teach myself - I'll be spending a lot of time on trains in the next month, so that seems like it'd be a good idea. Must look into. Hmm.
(and then, must decide if I want a house scarf or a House Unity scarf!!)

You can spin your own thread? That's just massively cool! I expect the number of people who know how to do that any longer are you, work in a factory where the machines do it, or are taught by you.

Can we call you The Spinner now? ;)
