Studio Notes

Some of you know that in addition to my art studio, the Aerie also has a fiber arts studio. Would you like a brief tour?

The heart of my studio is this 46-inch Schacht floor loom.

I have a new spinning wheel, the Lendrum Double Treadle, that I just picked up at the NY Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck. It’s a delight to treadle this wheel, and it has the capacity to spin some very creative art yarn.

I also have an older Ashford Traditional Wheel, that’s been upgraded several times, but this post is getting very picture rich, so I will save that for another time.

What do I create in my fiber studio? I spin some of my own yarn for knitting, and I weave scarves, shawls, and the occasional table runner. I’ve just started to explore art yarn, which is a close equivalent to my art journal style.
