She will focus on handpainting yarn and fleece using acid dyes. Topics covered will include colour mixing, painting tips for best results and she will share all her hard-earned secrets for getting the most beautiful, unique product for knitting and spinning. Ani has over three decades of experience as a fibre artist and business owner, so she has much to share with us. You can see some her work on her website.
There is an option to attend one ($100) or both days ($175 - and I highly recommend you come both days!). Fees include lunch and all materials. Please be in touch with me if you are interested in attending and/or need assistance/advice about housing. There are a very limited number of rooms in Gillams that will be available first come, first served for participants.
As you can see from these examples, Ani is not your average fibre worker. She's got Talent. She also is very funny and charming. And did I mention generous? Well, she is. The course fees are based only on the cost of getting her to Newfoundland and back. Ani herself is accepting no fees for her teaching.
I have no doubt that it is going to be a blast. A blast resulting in oodles of gorgeous fibre to take home and play with. Also mad skillz to take home and play with, yo. The only question that remains is...
....will YOU be there to be part of it?

I will not be able to go because I'll be back in Nova Scotia squeezing my grand kids and trying to rent out our home so we'll have that all done and dusted when we return at the end of summer. BUT we are going by your place in a week and a bit. When do you get home? Or when do you get to the rock since both places are home?
