Skill level:  All levels welcome

Workshop Description: In this class, we will experience several breeds of “Primitive” style sheep. Included will be some you may have worked with before and some you may never have even heard of yet! Amy scours (see what we did there?) the fields looking for oddball rare breeds to bring to class and she hopes you’ll find a new favorite! We will start with her favorite primitive which has been used to from a lovely island off the coast of Virginia, and talk about not only the history and attributes of these awesome sheep, but also their application in your fiber arts journey..

Students should bring:  Students should make arrangements to bring (or borrow) a working spinning wheel or spindle, a niddy noddy or ball winder and preferably 4 or more bobbins (although there are work-arounds if you don’t have 4.)

Homework:  None 

Material Fee  $25  Includes:  Multiple samples of Primitive sheep fleece and roving
