Adventures in Drum Carding - Roy Clemes - Sun. 8/10

Sunday, August 10
10:00am - 1:00pm, 2:00pm - 5:00pm (6 hours)

About the Class:

This is the companion class to Exploring the Drum Carder. In this class, we continue to de-mystify the drum carder. Batts will be prepared both semi-worsted and woolen. Students will learn different techniques to create an art batt, prepare batts for spinning sock yarn, and learn to add silk or bamboo into woolen batts. Students will also learn to remove fiber as rolags and as pencil-sized sliver through a diz. An ambitious goal of five batts produced during class means students will have ample carded fiber for spinning samples and small projects. All carding and blending will be done on our Elite Series Drum Carders with each student using their own electric carder. 

All materials, carders, and tools will be provided by the instructors.

This is a full-day class (6-hours) with a 1-hour break at 1PM.

About the Instructor: We are a father and son duo with a Fleece Forward approach to the fiber arts. We believe that by working with quality fiber and equipment, our students can make efficient use of their time spent crafting, while creating garments that last a lifetime.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Homework: None

Required Materials: None

• Included: There is a $50 materials fee included in the class cost that includes fiber
