Long draw spinning – the world has another long draw spinner, who has taken my Beginners offer.

She has had two lessons – the first got off to a bad start: I had agreed to pick per up at Market Harborough Railway station  – she was coming from Leicester which is a 15 minute journey. Unfortunately she got on a train that didn’t stop at Market Harborough and got swept off to Luton – an 45 minute journey. By the time she got back to Harborough it was two hours later and she was not in the best mental state for a spinning lesson. But she had her lesson and I put her back on the train at Harborough carrying her borrowed wheel at 9pm. This picture was taken on her second lesson. Most of my pupils learn in the first two lessons.  She was very pleased with her first spinning – its was brilliant. This first spinning was plyed and then skeined on the Kiwi Skeiner which is much quicker and  easier to use than a giddy noddy. I took this picture in my studioon her second lesson. She was very happy and so was I. It is always a pleasure to teach someone young – I like to think that they will be still long draw spinning and inspiring others long after I’ve gone….what a joy.
