TAUGHT BY Amy Tyler

Wheel Mechanics

Half day class, offered twice:

Friday, April 22nd 9-noon

Friday, April 22nd 2-5pm

Spinning wheels are marvelous machines! In this workshop, we will cover how spinning wheels work. There will be spinning exercises to remove the mystery from drive mechanisms, drive ratios, drafting, twist, take-up tension, and wheel maintenance. Along the way, participants will be introduced to concepts of mechanics (such as force, torque, angular momentum, friction) in a non-mathematical way.

Materials fee: $12

Level: can spin a single and ply

STUDENTS SHOULD BRING

  • a spinning wheel in good working order
  • one bobbin
