About Prin:
|
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.
