Workshop: Spin Anything Hackathon

Spin Anything is a hackathon-style workshop led by Alice Gielen where participants are challenged to turn anything into a spindle. We start by hacking together spindles from everyday scraps and trying them out. The focus is on experimentation, improvisation and playful invention, celebrating every attempt wonky and/or wonderful.

We’ll also provide plenty of materials, but we encourage you bring along something as well that you think would make a good spinning tool. Think about fidget spinners, spinning toys, pens, pencils and CD’s. We’ll be spinning with local sheep wool. This workshop is open to all, just bring curiosity and a willingness to spin with anything!
