About The Event

Instructor:  Lorna Ash of Shades of Ewe Fibreworks

Drum carders and blending boards can be intimidating to a fibre artist. They seem to turn plain fibre into something magical, but are a pricey tool to invest in. 

In this workshop participants will explore these two blending tools to discover the strengths of each. You will begin by examining the drum carder and how it functions, basic maintenance and how to card fleece versus prepared fibre. 

We will then move on to blending on the drum carder and blending board, discuss the differences between the tools, and how to include fibres like bamboo and silk. You will then learn how to remove fibre from the tools as batts, roving or rolags.

This workshop is intended for felters, spinners or any fibre artist who wants to learn how to card and blend their own fibres.

All participants will have access to carders…
