Your Instructor: Wendy Clark has had a love of fiber arts all her life from crochet, cross stitch and embroidery, knitting, quilting and spinning.
In 2016 she purchased her first wheel, took a beginning spinning class, and was hooked. Going deeper into yarn construction, she took a drop spindle class and dove into the history of spinning and raising sheep for fiber. Wanting to share all she was learning, Wendy offered her first class. In 2019, she began her six year journey to become a Master Spinner through Olds College in Olds, Canada. She looks forward to continuing to share this ancient art.
