PROGRAM: “Life with Sheeps” with Martha Owen

Join spinner, knitter, vegetable dyer and a storyteller and teacher Martha Owen, from the John C. Campbell Folk School, for an audience influenced conversation about Martha’s life with sheep. Topics might include:  Keeping Sheep, sheep personalities, songs and stories with sheep, interesting wool, and some of my best friends are sheep.

“In my personal fuzzy world I am a sheep farmer that has had to learn a lot, most of it the hard way.  I did not grow up farming and in fact it was after many years of keeping sheep and being a worker of wool that I realized that that is what we are doing here. My farm product is wool.   I look at what comes from my animals and seek out its best use.  Join us!” – Martha
