#420 Amy Ross Manko — Sheep School: Island Sheep (spinning)   Half day Saturday 9am-Noon   Bldg 10 Center  $50

Skill level:  All levels welcome

Workshop Description: In this class, we will experience several breeds of sheep from islands around the world. 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 American breed that developed practically ferally on an island before moving on to some UK islanders 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) basic fiber prep equipment – flicker, hand cards, combs – as well as 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  $35  Includes:  Samples of multiple breeds of Island Sheep from all across the world
