I can provide entertaining and educational presentations on a variety of topics, structured to interest your group. Most presentations include a PowerPoint slide show. I always provide things to look at and touch. Each of these programs takes about an hour including Q & A. I can make it shorter if necessary and can easily fill more time by taking more questions and more discussion of things that I bring to show. Inquiries about other topics of interest are welcome. I have listed virtual options for most of these topics.
Guild Speaker Fee: $300 plus gas and housing, if overnight is necessary. Rate for virtual programs via Zoom is $200. To discuss dates and program choices contact me. Most of the classes I teach can be adapted to off-site workshops for guilds or other groups. The workshop charge is $500/day plus mileage (IRS rate) and housing if I stay overnight.

World of Wool: Breeds of sheep and influences on fiber characteristics
As a yarn lover, do you know how to choose the best wool yarn for a particular project? Understanding something about the biology of wool and knowing the wool characteristics of different breeds of sheep helps us to choose the appropriate wool. Relate wool biology to what we can see and feel in wool fiber. Learn about the breeds that we find in North America, why they were developed, and how they are related. Presentation includes PowerPoint slides and fiber & fabric samples to see and feel.
VIRTUAL I will add some more slides to the presentation to share the samples that I can’t bring to show.
