Kelly Brandt started on her wool craft odyssey in 1975 with four heritage horned Dorset sheep who came to her five acre homestead in Lake Odessa "just to keep the pasture down."  As an accomplished seamstress, she first used her wool harvest in wool-filled comforters, but soon taught herself to locker hook, spin, and felt.  She first got involved in FiberFest in Hastings in the early 1980s and has been teaching since 1985 in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  She is a published author and has won artistic awards for her work using wool and llama fiber from her flocks.  Through her fiber based cottage business, Team Effort Artisans, Kelly has shown and sold fine wool craft at shows, galleries, and festivals.  She offers private classes at her studio/barn outside Lake Odessa.  Prospective students are invited to contact her with questions about the content of her classes at kellybrandt@yahoo.com or at 616-374-7176.
