Come to the beautiful west coast of Newfoundland for a hands-on workshop exploring natural dyeing techniques and spinning wool into yarn using a drop spindle and spinning wheel.
In addition to all the fibre fun, we will offer morning wake-up yoga, delicious vegetarian meals prepared with produce from Full Tilt’s organic gardens, a welcoming reception on Friday evening in Full Tilt’s art gallery, film night on Saturday evening, and more.
The class schedule will be: welcoming reception on Friday evening. Saturday - natural dyeing. Sunday - spinning. Monday morning - yoga and farewell breakfast.
Workshop fee: $150/person. Includes all materials, yoga (optional), lunch and snacks for both days. Class size will be limited to 15 people.
