The Girl Scouts are on their way! We have a mini-workshop scheduled in the studio for the local girl scout troup. We’re starting off the day with an over view of those wonderful fuzzy fiber-bearing animals. Piles of samples for everybody to touch-feel are all spread out. The Schacht spinning wheel is ready for a little demo as are the spindles for each little pair of hands to give it a “whorl”. The Kool-Aid dye pot will be on the stove for a non-toxic dye bath (for the fiber, not the girls) and then on to the weaving! Demos on the AVL’s will take place and finally each participant will get to weave a small sample on their little loom. Pictures coming soon!
