Unsure how to spin them? Ended up with an art batt you don’t like? This is the class for you! We’ll explore the construction of art batts, discuss 3 approaches to spinning them, and then practice the different approaches. This is not a class about specific techniques, but rather a class that encourages you to step outside the boundaries of how you approach and think about batt spinning.  While intended primarily for wheel spinners (traditional or electric), the course can be taken using drop or Turkish spindles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Prerequisite: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAdvanced beginner.  You need to know how to spin and how to ply. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAges:\u003c\/strong\u003e High School, Adult\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplies: Included in Class Cost: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 AriBo Arts mini-batts or 2 regular sized AriBo Arts batts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlying material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Supplies Needed: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA spinning wheel (orifice should be at least 1\/4”)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 empty bobbins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 spindles and a plying spindle (support spindles not recommended).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Lazy Kate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sense of adventure and humor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHomework\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Policies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe class minimum is \u003cstrong\u003e4\u003c\/strong\u003e students.
