This workshop will introduce you to the basics of spinning your own yarn. Come meet our sheep, spend time learning how to use a drop spindle, and try your hand at a spinning wheel.
This class will focus on several basic smithing fundamentals. Using the forge, anvil, and basic hand tools you will learn to draw a taper, bend, flatten or spread, twist, and punch holes.
Face jugs have a long tradition in many cultures, including the American South. Styles of face jugs range from realistic to highly fantastical. In this class you'll be provided with a basic wheel-thrown jug or mug (your choice) to decorate using hand-building techniques to create a face that is uniquely yours.
