Handweavers & Spinners Guild of Victoria

Classes at the Guild are always informative and fun. The Lean to Spin Cotton Workshop with Jay as our teacher was no different. It was great to learn not only how to spin cotton but also some of the history of Cotton and the fibre characteristics. The class length was the perfect amount of time. Over the 4hrs we learn how to prepare and spin cotton in 3 different forms. The sample pack of fibre was just enough to use in the class but then also go home and practice more to get a better understanding. It was also interesting to learn tips on spinning in general from the other class members which I find always helps with the learning experience. I look forward to more classes in the future

Teacher Ana knows their stuff and is very supportive. Turns out weaving is pretty complicated but through this course I was up and weaving my own projects in a very short time. Lots of fun.
