Intro to Blending Boards with Roy Clemes (Sat AM)
Learn basic use and techniques of a blending board from one of its designers! In 2011, Henry and Roy Clemes created a new tool that became the wildly popular Blending Board. This hands-on class will not only demonstrate the versatility of the blending board - blending fibers of various types, lengths, and colors - but also the strength of the blending board - quickly preparing fiber in rolags for woolen spinning. All blending will be done on Clemes & Clemes Blending Boards with each student using their own boards. All materials, boards, and tools will be provided by the instructor.
