Teacher: Mary Prassinos

Mary has always been interested in the fiber arts whether it was macramé, crochet, or taqueté. She enjoys knitting items like hats, sweaters, and intricate beaded lace. One day she was intrigued by the rhythm of a spinning wheel. She persisted and learned how to spin her own yarn from lovely natural fibers. Of course spinning led to weaving, and now she has a herd of looms. She always makes time every day to create something with fiber. Mary is a retired technology coordinator and lives in Auburn, California.
