The Bandy Heritage Center, Creative Arts Guild, Prater’s Mill Foundation, DSC Derrell
Roberts Library, DSC Appalachian Studies minor program, and Chattanooga Fiber Arts
Guild are proud to partner with Claire Davis to present a Spinning Wheel Workshop!
Before textile mills became widespread throughout Northwest Georgia, families from
across the region had to use spinning wheels to turn wool into yarn for the clothing and
other textiles they used in their daily lives. Spinning was such an essential part of daily
life in Northwest Georgia that it became a vibrant and nostalgic symbol of hearth and
home. The spinning wheel workshop will provide students with the opportunity to
participate in a literally homespun Northwest Georgia fiber arts tradition by gaining
hands-on experience learning to spin yarn on a traditional spinning wheel.

This class is a morning session which will last two and a half hours total. Each student
will be loaned a Kromski Prelude spinning wheel and shown how to spin merino wool
into yarn. All necessary equipment and supplies will be provided by the instructor. This
class is suitable for adults sixteen and up; students under eighteen must have an
accompanying adult present at all times. No prior fiber arts knowledge or experience is
necessary.
