Fiber Arts Demonstration (Carding, Spinning, and Natural Wool Dying)

Bruce Yelton will be demonstrating hand carding, spinning, and the natural dying process with wool. Bruce comes from a long line of textile workers. His first job was in a textile mill and after college Bruce worked in the craft industry, winning several awards. However, a devastating house fire destroyed his business and for the next twenty-five years Bruce worked as an academic and researcher in education. After his retirement in 2015, he returned to his passion for the fiber arts.

This public program is in connection with our current exhibition, Variety Sew: A Sampling of Textile Tools and Devices. Included with Museum Admission, free for members and students.
