Beginner Spinning Classes

Learn the basics of spinning, rent a wheel and practice at home. Come back to learn to ply when you have two bobbins full. Student wheels available for rent at $10.00 per week or $35.00 per month. Deposit required.
Description: Suitable for ages 6 and up. Beginning to spin can be easy for some, tricky for others. Marty has figured out ways to get individuals started on a wheel by breaking it down into individual steps. First train your feet, then your hands, and put it all together.
For continued support, we will connect you with a group that can offer you much more. By appointment as scheduled for individuals (allow up to 2 hours). Contact us to arrange a time. $25.00 per hour (usually 2 hours) plus you purchase roving or batts to spin (about $10.00).
