Our Teachers

Tammy Jordan - Tammy is a fourth-generation fiber artist who enjoys sharing her passion with everyone she meets. She’s taught all over the United States in a variety of subjects including fiber prep, spinning techniques, breed studies, knitting, and needle-felting.  Her teaching style is fun, creative, and interactive. Additionally, she’s the founder of the 52 Weeks of Sheep Facebook Group along with a companion podcast which airs monthly, and is currently writing her first book. When she’s not on the road teaching or in her studio creating, writing, spinning, knitting, or felting, you can find her spending time with her dogs, sheep, horse, and other barnyard critters.

Sue Linzer - Sue recently retired from managing a spinning and weaving shop for the last 17 years. She’s studied with master handspinner Patsy Zawistoski, as well as attended classes at the Vavstuga Swedish Weaving School. She loves sharing her passion for spinning with drop spindles.

Stephanie Flynn - is a fiber fanatic experienced in teaching and motivating students in many fiber arts.  She has a diverse expert background including spinning, weaving, knitting, felting, and dyeing. Her interest in learning about fiber arts started at a very young age, she trained in Accessory Design at the Fashion Institute Of Technology, and continues expanding her expertise by seeking out the best in the industry. Stephanie co-authored the book Woven Scarves: 26 Inspired designs for the Rigid Heddle Loom with Jane Patrick.  Her other projects can be found in Spin-Off Magazine, The Weaver’s Idea book by Jane Patrick, Spin-Off magazine and Little Looms magazine. All students are sure to find inspiration in any class she teaches. She loves to spread her contagious enthusiasm for spinning with everyone she meets, and is so fun to be around!

Joanne Hall - Joanne Hall's home and studio are in Montana City.  She has been
teaching weaving for many decades, first at the University of Montana.
As well as band weaving, she teaches tapestry, Swedish decorative weaves
and drawloom weaving. Author of five books, including Learning to Warp
your Loom, she teaches beginning weaving and is very knowledgeable about
weaving and looms, new and old.

Peggy Doney - Peggy has always been fascinated with color since her first box of crayons. After 20 years of homeschooling, she wondered what to do with all of the left-over chemistry equipment. The answer came after taking a spinning class with a neighbor. Now she enjoys spinning, knitting, silk fusion, and dyeing. For many years, she has been discovering color recipes using triad studies. These studies allow exploration in hue as well as value and support Peggy’s special interest in making accurate recipes that
are starting points for matching colors in nature. The yarns Peggy creates celebrate the texture and luster of a wide variety of natural and synthetic fibers and gives a medium to combine those textures with the color she loves. Peggy’s skill with the dye pot led to a stint as one of the regular dyers for Treenway Silks.
If there is anything that Peggy enjoys as much as creating with fiber and color it’s sharing that passion with others. From an annual fiber-arts gathering in her back yard to teaching workshops for guilds and at festivals like the Taos Wool Festival to one-on-one sharing, she likes to pass on her excitement for fiber and color.
