About the Maker(s)
Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin (WSSA) The Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin (WSSA) was formed over 30 years ago. It serves, advances, teaches and makes available to artisans and the public the arts, crafts, techniques, materials, and processes for spinning, dyeing, weaving, and related arts. It provides demonstrations and workshops in the community, participates in local, regional and national art and craft exhibits, and furnishes a library of books, videos, weaving and spinning equipment. Expertise covers spinning with spindles and wheels; weaving traditional and exceedingly modern ways; felting natural fibers (their own wool, llama and alpaca) as well as modern fibers and found objects; knitting handspun yarns; dyeing with natural and chemical dyes; and beading, twining, braiding and tapestry.
