Join some of our accomplished spinners as they demonstrate and provide guidance about mastering techniques that will benefit spinners of all skill levels.  These mentors will offer at least two or three sessions of their topic, so you can join in for a demonstration from every mentor if you like, or you can pick and choose the topics on which you'd like to focus.  This is a golden opportunity to learn from these talented and knowledgeable members of our guild:

• Karen Cooper - how to spin textured yarn
• Karen Hutchinson - how to spin with a drop spindle
• Heather McChesney - understanding what judges look for in handspun contests
