Do you have braids of hand painted top in your stash that you are afraid to spin?

PAM HOWARD Pam Howard is a hand-weaver, dyer, spinner, teacher and the Resident Weaver at the John C. Campbell Folk School. Her first time holding a shuttle in her hand was in 1967. She has been weaving nearly every day since 1985. With the influence of her Mother, a Home Economics teacher, she was inspired and encouraged to learn as much as she could about weaving and the fiber arts.

Pam has taught at international and regional conferences, crafts schools as well as for local guilds. She worked for the Handweavers Guild of America on their advertising staff for Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot Magazine. Pam is a member of Complex Weavers, the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild, and the Modern Quilt Guild. She has held the position of Resident Weaver at the John C.

Currently, she is enrolled in the Olds College Master Weaver Program.

Besides teaching, her woven and dyed work have been showed in competitions and invitational exhibitions all over North America. Pam uses the best materials to make a cloth that is not only pleasing to the eye but serves the purpose that it is intended to be. Her passion is color so that is why dyeing of her warps and fabric has become an important addition to her work and in her classes.

WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR BIOGRAPHIES LOIS MCDONALD-LAYDEN Lois McDonald-Layden has been a felt artist for six years as Tuckamoor Wildcrafts. She produces wall art, bookmarks, art pillows and felted birds. She is inspired by nature and trees, flowers, the moon, sunsets, storms, and the ocean, predominately. Her passion is creating complex and beautiful felted wool paintings that are mounted onto deep gallery canvases or framed. She is mostly self-taught, but takes workshops at every opportunity and continually learns from other artists.

From Newfoundland, she is an Army wife, who has lived all across Canada with her husband and three children, in some of the nation’s most beautiful places.

She expresses her love of natural beauty through her art. Lois enjoys teaching felting workshops; usually needle and wet felted landscapes.

Since the summer of 2015, she has been living in Oromocto, in the beautiful province of New Brunswick. Lois is making art full time and is dedicated to exploring this exciting creative outlet. She is fortunate to have a large studio in her home and lots of inspiration outside her door. Lois is building a body of work, regularly sells to galleries across Canada and to private collections worldwide, and accepts commissions.

A horticulturist and greenhouse manager by trade, she has also managed a successful artist cooperative. While felting is her current outlet of choice, Lois is also an accomplished costume designer, seamstress, landscape designer and potter. She is a juried member of the New Brunswick Craft Council and a member of The Fibre Arts Network.

Catherine is currently working on Level Four of the Olds College Master Weaver program. She has spent the last 6 years exploring weaving and dyeing in all its wondrous variety, as well as sewing and embroidering on the side.

CHRISTIE SCHULZE Christie Schulze has been spinning for close to 10 years.

She focuses primarily on the areas of spinning, knitting, dyeing, and anything one can do with yarn. Caroline is an avid fibre artist, an indie dyer with her own yarn company, and she loves nothing more than to share her passion for fibres through teaching!

LORRIE STEFFLER Laurie Steffler is an accomplished fibre artist known for her imaginative artistic expression in rich texture, colour, sculpture and design in merino wool and silk nuno felted fashion accessories and garments. She has an illustration and painting degree from O.C.A.D. Laurie fell in love with wool as a medium and has been sharing her love of felting and dyeing since 1986. She enjoys supporting her students unique creativity.

DIANA TWISS Diana Twiss is an experienced fibre arts instructor with a background in adult education and fine art. Passionate about fibre, fabric, colour and texture, she has introduced many beginners to the wonders of making yarn and has helped experienced spinners experiment with technique, colour, and fibre to take their spinning to a new level. She especially loves spindles because of their simplicity, beauty and portability. In addition to spinning for the last 16 years, she is a self-described “fearless knitter” and is currently working on her first Aran sweater using locally made yarn she bought in Ireland.

Living in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Diana is a regular fibre arts instructor for the Langley Weavers and Spinners guild as well as at Fibres West in Cloverdale, Knit City in Vancouver, and Valley Yarns in Surrey. Since 2010 she has travelled to Haida Gwaii on three amazing occasions to teach 2-day workshops in spindle spinning for the Haida Gwaii Arts Council.
