Spinning with Odet Beauvoisin

Fibre Yarn Handspindle workshop: for newbies, novices and dabblers. Odet Beauvoisin is back! We are so excited to learn more about this heritage craft from such a pasisonate teacher. We will be spinning thread from loose sheep-fleece &/or prepared fibre using handspindles. If there is sufficient time, we’ll include preparing & blending fleece using handcarders. This will be the last workshop at JTS until 2027! Materials, tea, coffee, biscuits and merriment provided. More about Odet: Odet has been spinning, teaching, and designing yarns since the 1970s. She taught Handspinning & Yarn Design at Glasgow School of Art for nine years and studied on location with Marion Cambell, the last local Harris Tweed handloom weaver to dye and handspin her own weft. As a ‘spinner in residence’ at The Coach House for 23 years, Odet demonstrated spinning and ran workshops for beginners, skill-developers, and advanced techniques. Over the past two decades, she has led workshops for the Highland Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild, Handspinner-Having-Fun Craft shop on Skye, and Gavin’s Mill (Milngavie). Let’s get creative, build new skills, and reconnect with our rich textile heritage! When: Saturday 19th December , 1-3pm Where: Johnstone Textile Space, 36 Houstoun Court, Johnstone, PA5 8DL
