🗓 Saturday, September 13 | ⏰ 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM📍 Elderslie Community Tune-Up Station https://maps.app.goo.gl/rgka6CQCMHh72W8B9
Join us for a creative twist on pedal power! Stop by the Elderslie Tune-Up Station for a fun and interactive bike-powered yarn spinning demonstration. We’ll be experimenting with attaching a spinning wheel to a bicycle — and you’re invited to take part!
Whether you want to pedal the spinning wheel or contribute to the fiber being spun, everyone’s welcome to join the action. Drop in, watch the process, or hop on the bike and give it a spin!
Cycle-to-Spin will be led by the wonderful Odet Beauvoisin!
Odet has been spinning, teaching, and designing yarns since the 1970s. She taught Handspinning & Yarn Design at Glasgow School of Art for nine years and studied on location with Marion Cambell, the last local Harris Tweed handloom weaver to dye and handspin her own weft.
As a ‘spinner in residence’ at The Coach House for 23 years, Odet demonstrated spinning and ran workshops for beginners, skill-developers, and advanced techniques. Over the past two decades, she has led workshops for the Highland Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild, Handspinner-Having-Fun Craft shop on Skye, and Gavin’s Mill (Milngavie).
