Fiber Artist

Kelly Brandt

It should be fun to learn new things! I want to share skills I have honed over a lifetime of curiosity about how things work. We need to have hands-on skills that allow us to complete satisfying creative projects; it keeps our brains snappy!

I have been raising sheep here in Michigan and using their wool for about 45 years. I taught myself to felt wool, to spin, and to craft a number of other fiber and homesteading skills. I have been teaching for about 35 years, beginning with elementary school classes my children attended up to adult skill levels. I live outside of Lake Odessa with a passel of poultry and sheep.
