I have committed to teach a class at Gatalop at the end of October about what I am learning about linen. Here’s the blurb:
‘Linen – Seed to Shirt’ : Lecture and hands-on spinning demo with
spindle and wheel, for 5 spinners, but unlimited auditors.
Spinners who want to take their drop spindles home are asked to donate
$3. Sources for seed, unspun stricks, flax processing tools, and
natural dyes will be given.
I’m accumulating my info here, at a wiki I’m building called Peasant Tech. Please comment if you’d like to be added to the editing staff at Peasant Tech – it’s my intention to use the power of the Wiki for all our good. (But I’m not officially announcing PT yet – I’m still transferring content from here and from my del.icio.us account. Shh.)
[Confidential to mom – Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, thank you for all your hard work, happy birthday to me! See you this weekend.]
I don’t know what I could contribute to PT. I can proofread, edit, and verify information submitted. I doubt I’d submit much of my own, but I’d be interested in helping wherever I could.
Have fun and good luck teaching at Gatalop! I’ll be at Silver Hammer that weekend. Let us know how it goes. 😀
Ah, I remember when I was young and enthusiastic 🙂 Good luck with the class!
I’d be pleased to be an editor/consultant for Peasant Tech. Let me know how/what you’d like me to do. (remember that I’m a Luddite!)
