She taught herself to knit during college\, and after college added weaving and spinning to her fiber journey. \nA mostly self-taught maker\, Gynna has a relaxed view on creating — there are many tips and tricks to learn but few steadfast rules. She enjoys learning from others and adding different views and tips to her arsenal. \nGynna’s latest clothing line — Hank and Momma Clothing — was born of necessity as an outlet to redefine and re-find herself after feeling lost under the role of being a new mother. Hank and Momma Clothing was truly the pivotal point in Gynna’s creative career. She’s passionate about creating comfy\, cozy clothing that instills confidence and promotes creative exploration for all. Today you can find Gynna’s clothing lines on her website GynnaMade.com and on FibershedMarketplace.com. \nGynna believes that anyone can learn to create a wardrobe that helps ground them and gives meaning to their lives\, wherever they are on their creative journey. \nRooted in smart fashion\, she is excited to share her experiences\, tips and tricks and creative process through her new SMART Fashion workshops.  \nIG: GynnaMade \nWeb: gynnamade.com/ \n\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends \nFibershed offers one to two scholarships per workshop depending on the size of the class.

SUMMARY:The Art and Surprise of Plying with Mimi Luebbermann and Marlie de Swart
DESCRIPTION:Come along for a captivating day of artistic exploration and delightful surprises as we dive into the world of plying! Join Mimi Luebbermann and Marlie de Swart\, at Windrush Farm\, and explore the magic of plying yarn! Learn to create unique and textured yarns\, strengthen single-ply yarns\, and introduce colors and textures during plying. This class will cover frosting\, insertions\, color plying\, cables\, and many other effects that are part of the creative world of plying.  \nAll materials are included. \nClass Schedule: \n\nSaturday\, November 11\, 1:00pm – 4:00pm\n\nLocation: Windrush Farm\, 2263 Chileno Valley Road\, Petaluma\, CA 94952. \nPlease bring: Personal snacks and beverages. Windrush Farm is in a rural location outside Petaluma. The farm is located on flat but uneven terrain (please bring sturdy shoes). \nRegistration and Information: eventbrite.com/e/694441070937 \n\nAbout the Instructors: \nMarlie de Swart learned to spin as a young child at her mother’s knee in Holland\, and she has been doing it ever since. For the last twenty-two years\, she has been teaching spinning at Windrush Farm Fiber School in the Chileno Valley. Her book “Knitting Woolscapes\, Designs Inspired by Coastal Marin Wool” has many sweater patterns developed to be made with hand-spun yarn. She is one of the first board members of Fibershed and\, until recently\, owned and operated the Black Mountain Weavers Store (an artist cooperative) in Point Reyes Station. Marlie’s passion is everything fiber\, especially local fiber.  \nMimi Luebbermann moved to Chileno Valley in 1995 with the dream of living quietly on a farm. Instead\, she ended up crazy about fiber and determined to create a fiber farm. Now\, sheep\, alpacas\, llamas\, goats\, and rabbits all contribute to the Windrush Farm yarns. As a dedicated spinner\, she works to educate people about the connection between fiber animals and yarn\, through school field trips\, her farmers market booth\, private tours\, and spinning classes to meet the animals and learn the process of transforming fleece to yarn. It is an endlessly fascinating life. \nInstagram: @windrushfarmpetaluma \nWeb: windrushfarm.wordpress.com \n\nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends:\nFibershed is offering one to two scholarships to most workshops.
