[Nfb-krafters-korner] FRIDAYS QUESTION-What craft have you always wanted to try?

Fri Mar 12 19:22:55 UTC 2010

There is a yarn shop here in Northern VA who offer spinning classes.  At
some point I will ask if they know any resources in Richmond.  I will also
ask a friend of mine as she has been talking about learning how to spin, so
maybe she has friends who know of resources in Richmond.  

Spinning is one thing that has never interested me, but I've always been
impressed with those who know how to do it.

Hi Jewel, two things.

First, I am familiar with the SPCA, the Society for the Preservation of
Creative Anachronisms.  They are a big presence here in Virginia during the
Celtic Festival and Highland Games.  I have also two family members who
participated in the midevil period and the old west.  I don't think any of
the Virginia spinners are close, but through my Webb of Hope group, they
know of someone in the tidewater area who does spin that she has been trying
to get lessons from.  I'm still looking for someone in the Richmond area.

I also basket weave, both reed and coil baskets.  I have also taught two
basket weaving classes to our group.
