Dive deeper into the art of hand spinning in this immersive, hands-on workshop. Whether you're new to spinning or looking to refine your skills, this class offers guided instruction on both drop spindle and spinning wheel techniques.

Each participant will receive their own locally crafted drop spindle and fiber to take home, along with personalized instruction on using a spinning wheel. A selection of additional fibers will also be available for purchase.

By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of fiber and a newfound appreciation for one of humanity’s oldest crafts. Come ready to spin—and connect with the joy of making by hand!

About the Instructor

Summer Lilly

Summer Lilly

Fiddler and Fiber Artist

My name is Summer Lilley, and I’m a fiddler and fiber artist based in the Southeast. While I work as both a teacher and musician, fiber arts remain my daily passion and creative grounding.

I grew up on a small farm where we raised sheep and mohair goats, and I learned to process their fiber by hand. I started spinning at age four—standing on a chair and using a homemade CD drop spindle—and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I love sharing the ancient craft of hand spinning, both on the wheel and spindle, and connecting others to this timeless tradition.
