Gayle Lee Still and Katharine-Ellen Jolda. Gayle makes a wide variety of fiber art: basketmaking, kumihimo, shibori, spinning on a charka and natural dyeing and paper making from mushrooms. Katharine-Ellen, of Felt the Sun, demonstrates her bicycle-powered drum carder to prepare wool for the making of hand-felted wool apparel. Katharine will also be making rope from natural fibers.
Spinning, natural dyeing and basketmaking has been my passion for over thirty years. As a founding member of the FunGals, we explore adventures in mushroom color and fiber creations. I find inspiration with the Spindles and Flyers, Bay Area and Great Basin Basket Maker Guilds, and from my students.
