You are invited to take the classes as well as bring looms, spinning wheels, whatever, and work on your own projects! Cost includes room and meals from Friday evening through lunch on Sunday. Attendees will be assigned to help in the kitchen for at least one meal. The rooms have two bunk beds each, and so far we've been able to keep it down to two people per room so no one has to sleep on the top bunk. You do need to bring your own linens. Showers (bring a towel) and bathrooms are down the hall in the dorm. |
A little about Ken Gossard . . .
|
Kenny Gossard has been knitting for the majority of his life, learning at the age of six. “But,” he says, “I learned from old world style knitters. It was important for them to be able to knit fast enough to keep a family clothed and generate household income.
Being raised with sheep just makes it all the better. As I learned at a young age, wool is the best fiber for long wearing warm garments. I have taught classes on the older style techniques here in the Midwest and East Coast. In my non-knitting life, I raise a flock of registered Romney sheep. I live in a tiny house I built from mostly reclaimed materials. I am learning how to make the smallest carbon footprint that I can.” |
