About Prin:
|
I live in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with my family, teach fiber arts here and travel to teach around Vermont and New England. I'm lucky to have a family equally passionate about crafting a life on the land with agriculture and connection with the natural world at it's center. During the academic year I teach the fiber arts curriculum at Sterling College in Craftsbury VT. This includes Introduction to Fiber Arts, Weaving, Natural Dyes and Dyeing, Basketry, Feltmaking & Farmstead Arts. I also teach at educational farms, arts centers, libraries, skills gatherings and wherever there are folks excited about traditional skills and craft. |
Humans have spent thousands of years creating relationships with plants, animals, and the ecosystems we are a part of. With them we have developed 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.
