Workshop Leader: Barb Hagarty
Barb Hagarty began to actively engage with the history of creating fiber through the practice of tatting. From here she transitioned to working with other historical forms of fiber creation such nalbinding, drop spindle spinning and sprang. Her goal is to share knowledge of ancient techniques of fiber creation and create contemporary interest in these ancient practices.
