Spinning with a Drop Spindle (The Basics) with Anita 1-3pm Saturday 
The handspindle may seem a primitive tool, but before the spinning wheel (late 13th century or so in Europe)...  every thread for weaving, every yarn for knitting or nalbinding, every sewing or embroidery thread... was made on a handspindle! Nearly every child learned to spin, so you can too, with just a little practice. We'll do some hands-on wool spinning with this simplest of tools, after a brief overview. Bring a handspindle if you have one. There will be simple drop spindles available for a few dollars. This class is intended for the never-evers or those who have tried spinning just a time or two. Ages: teens and up. Size Limit: 6 persons.
Spinning with a HandSpindle - Continuing to Spin Merrily Along   4-5pm Saturday
 If you've done a little spinning on a drop spindle - maybe a lot! - and would like to improve your skills, maybe branch out to different fibers or different spindle types, come join us! We'll look briefly at the variety of drop and supported spindles available across places and time periods, and the basics of preparing the "big four" natural fibers: wool, linen, silk, cotton, and try samples of each. A variety of wools, representing a cross-section of the many fleece types, will be examined. Bring a handspindle if you have one, especially if you're having some trouble with it. There will be simple drop and supported spindles available for a few dollars. Ages: teens and up. Size Limit: 6 persons.
Bow-making with Marcus the Bowyer 10-11 and 4-5 Saturday
This class will be presented in two parts in order to allow students to begin their bows in the morning session, to work on it over the course of the day, and to finish it in the second session.
