“Terri is an excellent fiber artist, teacher and demonstrator. At our annual farm event, besides hand-on teaching, she also demonstrates her multiple talents including drop spindling, fiber prep, carding batts and rolags, hand carding & blending, and wheel spinning. We highly recommend Terri!”
“I have been spinning on a wheel for almost 30 years and no matter how many times I tried I just could not master a drop spindle. I had taken other classes, watched YouTube, and enlisted friends’ advice but still could not seem to ‘get it.’ After just 10 minutes with your gentle guidance of “Park & Draft” I was spinning on a drop spindle!!! Who knew I could spin yarn on a $2 spindle made from a wooden wheel & dowel? You had me convinced I can spin yarn with a rock!!”
“I found the non-technical approach appealed to me most because it just made sense for how I like to spin.[Spinning for Lace]”
“Loved your blending board class...I’m encouraged that I can do this....and have fun too![Blending Board Techniques]”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the spinning class today. You reinforced the things I already knew and encouraged me to move forward. I appreciate the time you took with each one of us to ensure success.”

“This was excellent! You were very well prepared & the materials handed out were excellent & well explained![Blending Board Techniques] ”

“This was so much fun and very informative.[Color Blending]”
“... Terri is fun and patient so I really enjoyed the class.... Terri’s approach of teaching us how to spin with whatever equipment we have was so empowering.... Terri’s class helped confirm things I already knew, gave me tips on how to improve my spinning, and was simply an enjoyable day spinning with fun stories.[Spinning for Lace]”
“Terri adjusted the class to answer our questions.”
““Excellent presenter – class very worthwhile.””
““A very good overall introduction.””
“I took this class (Color Blending on Handcards) with (Terri) last year at Fiber Festival of New England and it was excellent! I don’t have enough space for dying, so it was really exciting to learn how to get new colors from pre-dyed fiber.”
“It was a great class and I’m so excited to have gotten to begin my fiber spinning journey! Thanks for the excellent instruction![It] was well worth the 4.5-hour drive!(Introduction to Wheel Spinning)”
