About Prin:

Picture

​These days I spend most of my waking (and non-waking) hours mothering my two children.  I live and work on a diversified farm (livestock, veggies and mushrooms).  I teach fiber arts classes and workshops around Northern Vermont and New England. 

During the academic year I teach the fiber arts curriculum at Sterling College in Craftsbury VT.  This curriculum includes Introduction to Fiber Arts, Weaving, Natural Dyes and Dyeing, and in some years Basketry.
​I am passionate about traditional and land based crafts and skills.  Humans have spent thousands of years creating relationships with plants and animals, and developing skills to create beauty and utility.  I love the feeling of kinship with humanity, History, prehistory and nature that comes from utilizing the gifts of the land for useful purposes.  This is what drives me.

I enjoy being challenged by learning new crafts and I spend my spare time researching and applying old skills.  This path began primarily with various fiber arts which I have been learning and practicing since I was a kid.  Though I love every craft I've ever tried, my focus is still on fiber arts and I am inspired and pushed by a wide range of crafts that fall into this category including traditional wet felting, spinning, knitting, weaving, natural dyeing and basketry.  I am also inspired by a variety of other skills, those that are ancestral, agricultural, and just human.
