TAUGHT BY Joan Ruane

Spinning off the Point (great wheels and charkhas)

Friday, April 22nd – 2-5pm

Materials fee: $25

Have you ever wondered what spinning off the point means? Do you want to get better at it or spinning on a charkha or great wheel? This class is for you. It’s a follow up to the class taught earlier this week — Spinning off the point (takli) — but you needn’t have taken it to learn from this class.

Spinning off the point (whether with a spindle, great wheel, or charkha) is  great skill to have and it also will help you master the long draw spinning. In this class we will focus on a variety of charkha wheels, learning the differences and their limitations.  Several spinning wheel quills will be available to work on as well as a e-spinner.  Students are encouraged to bring in any type of charkha, and wheels with quills to class.

Materials fee:
Level: Beginner & Above –  Must know how to spin but can be new to spinning off the point.

STUDENTS SHOULD BRING

All materials will be provided but you’re encouraged to bring:

  • any device that requires you to spin off the point
  • notebook and pencil
  • niddy noddy and tags
