Details

Date:
September 7
Time:
10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Resourceful Craft 2024 is a programme of craft workshops teaching resourceful skills for the wellbeing of people and planet. We want to share traditional craft practices that will provide you with new skills and a new relationship with local materials and the resources that are around you.

During this workshop you’ll learn the key skills to start hand spinning beautifully soft yarn to use in your knitting, crochet or weaving projects. By learning to use a simple drop spindle, you’ll engage in an ancient craft that has been practised throughout the world for thousands of years. You will be provided with local wool and have the opportunity to purchase a drop spindle to take home to continue your spinning journey.
