Your hands remember
I’m just here to guide the way.
I love fiber arts and I want to help you love it too. I offer workshops and retreats in the realms of animal husbandry and homesteading, fiber spinning, botanical dying, and weaving. I believe that you have a beautiful unique essence that can shine through these crafts and I’m here to help you along the way. I can’t wait to see what you create!
I share these crafts through a lens of earthen, ancestral, and spiritual connection. Creation as ceremony. The beauty that is born upon your hands is a record keeper. What ever is alive in your heart as you create, whatever prayers or intentions you hold, your highest joy or your deepest grief, will transform and forever be apart of what you birth.

Testimonials…
“Attending sisters of the loom was one of the highlights of my year. Annyea held beautiful space and we were so well nourished with the yummiest food. Despite typically weaving on larger looms, I loved getting to sit in ceremony with fiber, new friends, and the intention of being present with this ancient craft. The spinning, dying, and weaving were just the icing on the cake of something much deeper being cultivated. Highly recommend learning from and working with annyea and the opportunity to spend time on her sacred homestead.” -Bea
“There’s a type of grounded medicine that Annyea radiates effortlessly as a Weave sharer- a trust, a knowing, a belief in your artistic & creative ability that melts away even the most tender of creativity wounds. From sitting in workshops at Spirit Weavers to driving 20 hours to her beautiful, abundant homestead for the Sisters of the Loom retreat in 2022, it’s always a very special treat to receive teachings that bring me closer to Weaving from her. Annyea attracts the type of Salt of the Earth women that I loveee having in my life!!! It was such a special trip for my blood sister, Charity and I to take part in together. Receiving Annyea’s energy feels like sitting at my grandmother’s feet as she spins and shares stories of how to tap in to the ancient magic that wants to be remembered inside us. I look forward to the day I’m able to sit with her again!”

private spinning lessons
Fiber spinning is an excellent skill for all people to know, especially knitters and crocheters! There is nothing more satisfying that completing a beautiful project that you not only knit, but also spun using sustainable grown local fiber.
I offer one on one or small group workshops sharing the ancient art of fiber spinning. 2-3 hour classes with either drop spindles or wheels. I have fiber and can rent out tools as well.
