Description
Drum carders are a mystery to the average fiber artist: fiber is fed into the carder, ends up on the big drum, and something magical happens in between. In our ‘Exploring the Drum Carder’ class, students begin the day by learning the history of drum carders, how they work, and why they function the way they do. The fun goes hands-on for the rest of the day as we delve into the differences of woolen and worsted carding, explore the many tools that make drum carding more efficient, and crank out four different batts. The first batt will be hand cranked before switching over to Electric Drive for the duration of class. All materials, carders, and tools will be provided by the instructors. Students are welcome to bring a drum carder or fiber from home if they would like advice, but all work will be done on the equipment and with the fiber that the instructors provide.
A $45 kit fee will be collected by your instructor during class. Correct change is appreciated.
Kit includes all fiber used in class and use of all equipment.
