Mary is returning to the Grazing Hills Fiber Festival for the THIRD! year to teach Spinning Classes!
About Mary G.:
I love fiber and have been spinning for many years. I want others to love spinning as much as I do!
I enjoy spinning all different types of fiber but am especially drawn to the “soft and luxurious” alpaca as in what is produced here at Grazing Hills.
I live in Moscow with my husband of 37 years, Dave, and our beloved golden retriever, Dillon. I have 3 children, 2 daughter in laws, one son in law and 5 grandchildren ages 6 and under.
When I am not trying to keep up with all of life’s responsibilities, I enjoy sitting at my spinning wheel immersed in the different fibers that make their way into my wheel. I find spinning a very rewarding and relaxing craft and am continually fascinated by the process of turning a raw material into a beautiful finished project through the process of spinning.
I look forward to sharing the wonderful process with you.
See you in class!
